 On Valentine's Day 1943, 30,000 inexperienced American troops came to seize North Africa from the Nazi's, under the command of an elderly, opinionated general. A mass slaughter ensued as they faced Rommel and his battle-hardened Afrika Korps. Left behind was a deeply shamed American Army and the whole Allied front in Africa on the verge of collapse. This is the full story of that massacre of youthful innocents, sacrificed by military incompetents. First Thus. Boards, Half-Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo. Dorset Press 088029213X
