The Desert War: A Key Component in Britain's Success In August 1939, fascist dictator Mussolini declared war against Britain, taking a huge risk. Italy lacked natural resources and wealth, but with Hitler and the Nazi's by his side, he had a great chance of success. However, what stopped him? This question is answered in James Holland's The Desert War, an accessible account that explains the events leading up to the conflict, the tactics, triumphs, and failures on both sides. The book delves into the challenges faced by Britain and its allies, as well as the new technologies brought to bear during the war. It also explores the key figures involved in the conflict and their roles in shaping the outcome. With The Desert War, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this pivotal moment in history and how it contributed to Britain's ultimate success. Hardcover, 56 pages.
