    About this ebook

    The North African campaign of November 1942-May 1943 was a baptism of fire for the US Army. After relatively straightforward landings, the US II Corps advanced into Tunisia to support operations by the British 8th Army. Rommel, worried by the prospect of an attack, decided to exploit the inexperience of the US Army and strike a blow against their overextended positions around the Kasserine Pass. However, the Germans were unable to exploit their initial success, and later attacks were bloodily repulsed. The fighting in Tunisia taught the green US Army vital combat lessons, and brought to the fore senior commanders such as Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley.

      I think it is a very concise and well told description of the events in North Africa during WWII. A minor quibble I do have with the author is calling the battle of Kasserine Pass an American victory. I would say that Rommel won a minor local tactical success by breaking the defenses at the pass. It would be due to lack of logistics, and focus in addition to Allied determination that prevented him from going any farther. All in all, however, a very good book.
