Exit Rommel: The Tunisian Campaign, 1942-1943 FROM THE PUBLISHER
A study of Rommel's generalship in the context of the fateful Tunisian campaign, this book explores Rommel's leadership through the influential variables of battle, including logistics difficulties, weapons technology, and his relations with Hitler. The legend of the Desert Fox colors most battle accounts of North Africa in World War II, but this is the story of Rommel's performance in the face of defeat. After a detailed discussion of the Alamein battles, July through November 1942, and Rommel's retreat to Tunisia, ending in January 1943, Watson recounts the British and American invasion of North Africa and the confused web of Axis command that spawned the debacle at Medenine.
