Description

Alan Moorehead was sent to cover the North Africa campaign in 1940, and he followed its dramatic course until 1943. The three books he subsequently wrote about the Desert War (African Trilogy) were swiftly acclaimed as a classic account of the tussle between Montgomery's Eighth Army and Rommel's Afrika Corps amidst an endless desert waste.

"'A classic' Observer * 'One of the most remarkable books of this or any other modern war' New Statesman"

Author Biography:

Alan Moorehead was born in Melbourne in 1910. Educated at Scotch College and Melbourne University, he was a reporter for the Melbourne Herald before sailing to London in 1936. He became foreign correspondent for the Daily Express, and ultimately one of the finest correspondents of World War II. After the war he turned from journalism to writing books, and in 1956 won the Duff Cooper Prize for Gallipoli. He was awarded the OBE in 1946 and the CBE in 1968. Alan Moorehead died in 1983.
