The study offers a detailed examination of the Commonwealth and Italian infantry soldiers during the First and Second Battles of El Alamein in 1942. By July of that year, Allied forces in North Africa, part of the multinational Eighth Army, had retreated to the El Alamein line, which marked the last defense preventing German and Italian forces from advancing towards the Suez Canal. Featuring full-color artwork, archival photographs, and in-depth analysis, the book sheds light on the key role played by Commonwealth and Italian infantrymen during the intense battles for control of the North African coastline. Despite the emphasis on armored units by both Allied and Axis commanders, the infantry units from both sides were crucial to the outcomes of the two decisive battles. While most of the 96,000 Axis troops at the first battle were Italian infantry, the Commonwealth forces provided the primary fighting strength of the Eighth Army. The book also evaluates significant confrontations, such as the Italian infantry's clashes with Indian and Australian forces at Ruweisat and Makh Khad Ridge, as well as the defense by New Zealand troops at Miteiriya Ridge during the Second Battle of El Alamein in October.
