The Imperial War Museum Book of the Desert War 1940-1942 edited by Adrian Gilbert

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.

As the last major campaign fought exclusively by British and Commonwealth forces, the Desert War remains one of the most extraordinary chapters in the history of World War II. The experiences of those involved were vivid and wide-ranging.

Through extracts from memoirs, diaries, letters and taped interviews, we hear the authentic voice of men at war, not just from the British Isles but from the Commonwealth. Over 100 photographs, drawings and paintings provide a closely integrated pictorial commentary to the text. (back cover)
