Imagine the hottest day of your life and then multiply that by a thousand. That is only a fraction of what the men on the African Front faced during the perilous battles for Africa in WWII. Temperatures could easily reach 115 degrees or higher. Axis and Allied forces clashed in epic battles on this front that could drive a man insane and in some cases, did.

There were tank battles that rivalled anything on the Hollywood screen that you see in modern movies. Who was the ingenious General that confused an entire Army with no more than wood cutouts and props?

Learn about the Italians whose soldiers were thrust somewhat unwillingly into a war that they disagreed with while the politicians sat in leisure. See what they did in order to escape the raging battles and inhumane treatment at the hands of their own country. Read more about the soldiers that fought valiantly though, even against staggering odds.

Find out more about the “Desert Rats”. Who were they? Where did they get that nick name? These men not only earned the name but relished it as well. They played a huge role in the overall efforts at the front.

Not only will you learn about the Allied forces, AKA the Good Guys, but the author ventures into the German side of the story as well, presenting a fair accounting of both sides that many authors don’t dare to recount. This presents for a unique experience that you will be sure to enjoy.

Comments From Other Readers
“I wasn’t too sure about this book. I didn’t even realize that there was any part of World War II fought in Africa. It sounded a little farfetched but the facts are all there. I think that’s what gives this book a bit of an edge over other World War II books. Those books tend to focus solely on the European and Asian fronts. This was really a unique look into battles that I had never heard of before!” Brooke C. – Portland (USA)

“This book really captured my attention. While there are plenty of solid facts, the story is told well enough that they are weaved through in an entertaining fashion. It makes for an intriguing read that I was sorry to see end. I was shocked to read about the treatment of POWs in France. I thought that country was more civilized. It really brings a human look to both sides of the battle. Both sides were brutal. Both sides suffered. One side was ultimately the worse one. This book really opened my eyes to the reality of the war.” Aaron B. – Montreal (Canada)
