Following the same formula in both style and packaging as FOUR DAYS IN JUNE‚ Iain Gale has yet again delved deep into the annals of history to brings us another page-turning novel of great British Victory.
The battle at Alamein involved several different nationalities including the British‚ Australians‚ NZ‚ South African‚ Indian‚ Italian and German and was fought both on the ground and in the air. The battle centred around several small actions within the overall bigger picture of the Second World War‚ particularly that known as the action at Snipe when a small fore of the Rifles held off a Division of panzers.
In this novel‚ Iain Gale recreates this great battle as seen through the eyes of commanders and junior officers on all three sides: German‚ Italian and allied.
