The campaign in North Africa, from September 1940 to May 1943, holds a lasting fascination for post-war generations. This campaign was no less costly in human lives and material than many others. However, the sorrow over the cost was accompanied by positive memories in the minds of many veterans. This does not mean that the fallen have been forgotten, but there is an almost mystical connection, even among former enemies, among the veterans of the desert.

In this richly illustrated volume, Gordon Williamson examines the history, organization, and uniforms of the Afrika Korps of Rommel.
