Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This study is a new and more detailed narrative account of the battle of Gazala from 27 May-18 June 1942. The battle was a major defeat for Eighth Army in the midst of a long campaign and led to the immediate loss of Tobruk, Cyrenaica and a long retreat to the Alamein position. The work provides new details of the many training and equipment problems faced by the army commander, Lieut-General Neil M. Ritchie, in attempting to build-up Eighth Army for a renewed offensive in the spring of 1942. With Rommel clearly poised to begin his own offensive, Eighth Army was forced to adopt a defensive posture and hope that it might counter-attack a weakened Axis force. This work provides further material on the events and errors of the first days, which arguably placed the army in a position from which it could not easily recover. This work reconsiders the brigade battles using many records from the National Archives, Bovington Museum, the Imperial War Museum, online sources and the Bundesarchiv, including war diaries and operational reports, supported by memoirs, and early regimental histories. The main aim is to use these accounts provided by the participants, combined with official reports and war diaries, to bring the daily battles across the Gazala line into finer detail. The work is structured by issue, including a discussion of the planning, terrain, brigade training and then by brigade action, mainly because the nature of Gazala was about a series of separated battles, and within these by the events through each day. In this way we see the effect of the weaker leadership, which leads to a soldier's battle. The major causes for the defeat of Eighth Army have been discussed by others, often as part of a wider narrative of the campaign, such as poor command and leadership, that fateful summer. This work provides much more detail about the actions within Gazala, to give us a better understanding about why so many British brigades were defeated by Rommel's Panzerarmee Afrika. It has aimed to bring out many points of information which lie within the archival accounts, especially for those actions which have often been glossed over, so that the voices from the men of each regiment and brigade involved, can show how and why they fought. The text is supported by a range of newly commissioned colour maps, mostly based on the detailed maps and diagrams provided by regiments in their war diaries to highlight their battles. 8 colour maps, 3 tables A new and detailed account of the battle of Gazala from 27 May-18 June 1942 which reconsiders the brigade battles for Eighth Army. It uses archival war diaries and reports, supported by numerous published memoirs, and regimental histories to provide a fresh voice for the men who fought there.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book focuses on the extent to which the physical terrain features across Egypt, Libya and Tunisia affected British operations throughout the campaign in North Africa during the Second World War. One main theme of the work analyses the terrain from the operational and tactical perspective and argues that the landscape features heavily influenced British operations and should now be considered alongside other standard military factors. The work differs from previous studies in that it considers these additional factors for the entire campaign until the Axis surrender in May 1943. Until now it has been widely assumed that much of the Western Desert coastal plateau was a broadly level, open region in which mobile armored operations were paramount. However this work concentrates on the British operations to show they were driven by the need to capture and hold key features across each successive battlefield. At the operational level planning was led by the need to hold key ground across Libya and especially the province of Cyrenaica during the crucial middle period of the campaign. A secondary theme of the work argues that British forces began to improvise certain tactical doctrines, which altered the early practice of combined arms assaults into one of the Infantry and Armored formations fighting largely separated battles until the autumn of 1942. Other developments in doctrine which were affected by the terrain included the practice of unit dispersal to hold key ground and the use of temporary units such as Jock columns to harass and engage the enemy. The two themes are inter-linked and contribute fresh insights to the debate on British methods of warfare. The author has consulted key primary documents, reports, war diaries and published memoirs, from major UK archives and compared these with the campaign historiography to develop the main themes of the work. These include the National Archives, the Churchill Archives Centre, the Liddell-Hart Centre for Military History, the National Army Museum, John Rylands Centre, Imperial War Museum at London and Duxford and London and the Tank Museum Archives at Bovington. The sources include unit war diaries, after action reports, along with many of the key published and some unpublished memoirs. His text is supported by 24 pages of specially-commissioned colour maps. 12 b/w photos, 24 colour maps This book focuses on the extent to which the physical terrain features across Egypt, Libya and Tunisia affected British operations throughout the campaign in North Africa during the Second World War.
