Desert Armour Tank Warfare in North Africa: Beda Fomm to Operation Crusader, 1940-41 The North African theatre of World War II was often overshadowed by the more prominent campaigns in Europe and the Pacific. However, the desert campaigns were significant, with both the Axis and Allied powers committing substantial resources to the region. This second volume of Desert Armour explores the armoured warfare in North Africa from 1940 to 1941, a period marked by significant logistical challenges and the introduction of new technologies. The book begins with Rommel's second offensive in Libya and concludes with the Axis defeat in Tunisia, covering 17 months of intense armoured operations. During this time, both sides developed and employed new tactics, including the use of medium tanks and the integration of air, artillery, and engineer support. The author, Robert Forczyk, examines the key battles and events of this period, providing a detailed and insightful analysis of the armoured warfare in North Africa. Through its examination of the desert campaigns, Desert Armour provides a valuable insight into the development of modern armoured warfare and the lessons that can still be applied today.
