Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNFrom June 1940 to October 1942, Eighth Army was the only Western army facing and fighting the Axis powers, Italian as well as German, on the battlefield. It was a British army, but represented the Free World. Some of the great fighting divisions of the War were part of it - the 9th Australian, the 2nd New Zealand, 1st South African, 4th Indian, 51st Highland and 7th Armoured - the famous Desert Rats - joined by the Free French, the Greek Brigade, and many more from Britain and around the world.
Though ultimately triumphant, the Army was not always victorious - it had to fight obsolete equipment, indifferent command and excessive demands as well as the enemy - not forgetting its most admired foe, Rommel, who met his match in Eighth Army's General Sir Bernard Montgomery (Monty).
This book is built on the memories of Eighth Army veterans, collected from all over the world. It includes personal accounts of the battles fought at Sidi Rezegh, Alamein, in Sicily and at Cassino - and all the way to the Gothic Line, the end of Eighth Army's 3,000-mile march to victory. It is a story that deserves to be told, about an army that deserves to be remembered.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. Brand New and Unread- Eighth Army is a masterful epic of military history in which acclaimed historian Robin Neillands thrillingly chronicles the defeats and triumphs of the Eighth Army, considered by many to be the most remarkable fighting force of WWII. Using firsthand source material including personal accounts and interviews with veterans, Neillands digs deep into the strategies, conflicts, controversies, and politically motivated decisions that plagued, stymied, and glavanized this remarkable group of men. In the desperate days between June 1940 and October 1942, Eighth Army--a British force representing the Free World and comprising some of the great fighting divisions of the War--was the only Western army left to face the growing Axis powers. Though ultimately triumphant, these men faced defeat. They had to surmount obsolete equipment and indifferent command, as well as the enemy--not forgetting their most dangerous foe, Rommel, who met his match in Eighth Army's General Sir Bernard Montgomery. From the battles fought at Sidi Rezegh, Alamein, Sicily, and Cassino--this riveting narrative reverberates with the unstoppable spirit of the men whose strength carried them on a 3,000-mile march to victory.
