This new series comes in an A4 Softcover design and looks at various battles of significance, the aim of this series is to combine a basic history of the particular battle and the machines and vehicles involved in that battle in a model format. What makes this different to other book series is that it features all the planes, tanks and vehicles involved rather than just the one type like in the Tank Series. Being a Pen & Sword Book you have a well-written history supported by great text and supporting photographs, but also you have great model photos of all the vehicles used in that battle. Although these books are still a great read and thoroughly recommended, especially for model makers of WWII.

It was very interesting to have access to perspectives from both sides of this conflict. The insights into Rommel’s strategy were clearly founded in string research and the writing style will appeal to readers beyond history buffs.

[b]Review by Jason Hubbard[/b]
I was excited to read this book as I’m building an 8th Army and LRDG army for Bolt Action. My hope was this book would provide a lot of background info for my planned army. I wasn’t disappointed, the book provides a great depth of detail regarding the desert war as well as the European campaign...
... Anyone looking for a book with detailed researched information on the background of the Eighth army should take a look at this book.
Anyone who has an interest in military history will also not be disappointed by this book, its an easy read and a good starting point for reading more about the North African Campaign.

A truly fascinating book full of lots of information and jaw dropping information. I should say as a former Scout Leader I used to say when taking 20 kids on camp for a week, I used to joke that it was like feeding an army or going on military manoeuvres. Well this book certainly shows how wrong I was, but it many ways it was similar. The sheer quantities is mind blowing and from reading this book you could argue that the men and women doing this side of the war are just as important as those having to do the fighting. The book has a number of photos, charts and diagrams in, the photos are excellent both in black and white and colour, they mainly are of the vehicles of the less exciting vehicles but they are great none the less and are a key to the book. In my opinions this is a fantastic book, very well written and researched and certainly one I would happily recommend. ★★★★★ Read the full review [link=http://ukhistorianbendavidson.co.uk/logistics-in-world-war-two-1939-1945/]here[/link]

This book provides some balance to this aspect of the Second World War, and I do recommend it to readers to broaden their understanding on AUCHINLECK and his place in history.
