Stephen Bungay for Aurum

This is a jolly summary of the battles with some good maps. Bungay will not tell you a great deal that is new (although he had some new items for me - the profit on the film Desert Victory for example) but he represents a more balanced response to Corelli Barnett's The Desert Generals. The writing is good and the judgements, especially of Rommel, of a high quality.
