- Summary:
- This book, first published in 1968, examines the disastrous defeat suffered by inexperienced American troops, newly landed in North Africa, at the hands of Rommel.

This book traces the battle through to its aftermath in 'a remarkable piece of battlefield investigation' ( Manchester Evening News ).
