The Life and Death of the Afrika Korps: A Biography (Pen & Sword Military Classics)

Rating:
Summary: Quick and Easy History of North Africa in WWII
Review: I think what distinguishes this book from others on Rommel and the Afrika Korps is that Lewin writes it in the style of a biography. He treats the Arika Korps as a living entitty from its conception, through its infancy, adolescence, and ultimately death. Lewin describes the battles lucidly and to the point, although they would be easier to follow with better maps (a problem found in most operational battle histories.) His bias toward Montgomery also comes through loud and clear.
