The British Army 1939-45 (2) Middle East & Mediterranean
 "Enlarge Image")
The scope of Britain’s wartime Middle East Command stretched far beyond the Libyan desert where the 8th Army’s most famous battles were fought – from Gibraltar and Tunisia in the west, to Iraq and Persia in the east, and from Greece south to the Gulf of Aden. In 1940-43 this was the only arena where the British Army could take the ground war to the German Wehrmacht; it saw a succession of setbacks and triumphs, until spring 1945 found the 8th Army victorious in northern Italy. A summary of these campaigns is illustrated by photographs, and detailed colour plates of the wide range of uniforms worn in the varied conditions of this huge theatre of war.
