The Crucible of War Vol. II: Year Of Alamein 1942 (1982) By Barrie Pitt
 
This is the second volume of Barrie Pitt's detailed and highly acclaimed reconstruction of the North Africa campaign. It is more than just a history of one of the most dramatic theaters of the Second World War; in addition to clarifying the complex details of strategy and tactics, Pitt recreates the sights and sounds of the desolate terrain and provides an understanding of human conduct in the face of the dreadful realities of battle. Year of Alamein 1942 also provides a narrative mastery equal to that of any adventure novel.
