Can't say more. This will spark an interest in this theatre of operations and the reader MUST prepare the ground with Osprey Publishing books beforehand. Focus on the British offensives in particular. Rommel and the Germans are treated with sympathy (right word?) and FitzSimons saves his disdain for the Italiens. This is a man who won't drive a Ferrari!
