This is a unique single-volume history of the road to El Alamein
- 'the end of the beginning'
- & the bloody battle that followed...

...

It was the British victory at the Battle of El Alamein in November 1942 that inspired one of Churchill`s most famous aphorisms: ` This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning`. & yet the true significance of this iconic episode remains unrecognised. In this thrilling historical account, Jonathan Dimbleby describes the political & strategic realities that lay behind the battle, charting the nail-biting months that led to the victory at El Alamein in November 1942. It is a story of high drama, played out both in the war capitals of London, Washington, Berlin, Rome & Moscow, & at the front, in the command posts & foxholes in the desert.

Drawing on official records & the personal insights of those involved at every level, Dimbleby creates a vivid portrait of a struggle which for Churchill marked the turn of the tide
- & which for the soldiers on the ground involved fighting & dying in a foreign l&.
