Together we stand by James Holland

A breif review I posted on Goodreads on another excellent book from James Holland. He covers the campaign in North Africa 1942-3. As with any book I’ve read by James Holland it scores a very solid 5 stars. He just packs his books with so much information. He uses a ‘cast’ of characters, some he’s interviewed himself, and interweaves with the bigger picture. The political ramifications and how the chain of command fight it out are also well covered. Noting the frequent fighting amongst themselves as well! He explains vividly the brutality of the conflict, there’s no glorifying it, he states it for what it is. This is a brilliant book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2858528-together-we-stand
