First Blood in North Africa
Operation Torch and the U.S. Campaign in Africa in WWII (Stackpole Military Photo Series)
About this book
A pictorial history of America's first major military campaign in Africa during WWII.
In November 1942, eleven months after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. launched Operation Torch, a multipronged attack on French North Africa—a region controlled by Germany through Vichy France. Led by Generals Eisenhower and Patton, it was America's first major offensive against the Germans.
Through rare wartime images, this book vividly chronicles the initial landings in Morocco and Algeria and the subsequent desert clashes in Tunisia as American forces battled the German Afrika Korps of Erwin Rommel, the famous "Desert Fox."
