Book Reviews of Gazala 1942: Rommel's greatest victory (Campaign)
Book Review: Good foundation for further study
Summary: 4 Stars
I always have a good feeling when I put a book down for the last time knowing more than I did before. And so it is with Ford's GAZALA. Following the normal format of this series, he places the battle in its historical context along with explaining the strategy, tactics, equipment, organization and leaders who figure prominently in the campaign. Ford writes well, making the ebb and flow of the battle easy to follow without overwhelming the reader with too much detail. Overall he does an excellent job, making what was a very fluid situation understandable. The only down side to GAZALA was the topographical map depicting the actions of June 12-13 1942. While well drawn, giving the reader a good idea concerning the lay of the land, unit symbols are replaced by letters and events by numbers which leaves you either confused and/or frustrated. This aside, this is a great starting point for anyone interested in this critical battle of the Desert War.
