A well argued alternative history of the North African Campaign. The author has researched the critical battle and the path from there in an interesting alternative approach – Highly Recommended

This is a ‘What if….’ Book of the highest standard. It is almost all fact but with some bits altered to give a completely different result. It is so well done that the author has, in using actual events, made it difficult to tell which bit is what happened and which bit is fiction. A very thoughtful read.

Army Rumour Service (ARRSE)

This is an interesting book, and these scenarios have probably been run in many officer training academies. This is the first time we the general public have been asked to think through those various scenarios. What it does make clear, it does not matter how good your men are, your equipment is, if you cannot keep them resupplied then everything is going to end painfully.

An excellent book that certainly gets you thinking and looking at the maps once again seeing the what ifs and trying to apply them. All I can say is thank God for Malta.

GoodReads, Paul Diggett

As with all alternative histories the book demands some suspension of reality, in this case the strategic might of the Allies but at a tactical level it does make for good reading. If, and it is a big if, the balance of supply to each side could have been reversed, the author makes a good case for what might have happened. Well worth a read to make you think. Clearly well researched.
