A few years before halting the Nazis in Egypt, the irascible general commanded a counterinsurgency from his Haifa HQ
Fascinating and deft, as usual.
Thanks so much, Daniel ...
The war in North Africa is told in great detail in Martin Kitchen's "Rommel's War"
Haven’t read that one - I’ll look it up!
Including, of course, Montgomery's first order on assuming command of the Eighth Army:
"The Eighth Army will keep its positions at El Alamein. Alive if we can, dead if we must. But we will not abandon El Alamein."
Thanks for sharing—I really appreciate the look into the historical craft, as you put it.
Very glad that you enjoyed it, Ameya 🙏🏼
