Read the recent Pulitzer Prize winning book by Rick Atkinson, "An Army at
Dawn," the first of a three book trilogy. The other two haven't been
written yet. The book is about the Africa campaign, the first
involvement of the US in WWII in that hemisphere. According to those
accounts, Britain had zero chance of invading Africa by herself let alone
continental Europe. Even the US with Britain learned a lot and lost a
lot of men through their adventures and mis-adventures in Africa. I'm
only halfway through the book but it's very enlightening.


Let me guess. Written by an American?
