War in the Desert

Combining 3-D computer graphics, interviews with instructors at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, England, and excellent archival photography, War in the Desert is an exceptionally value-priced double-disc set that examines the special conditions encountered in desert warfare in three different military arenas: the Battle of El Alamein in 1942 (which resulted in the first major Allied victory of WWII), the Six-Day War in 1967 (in which Israel, under attack, won a decisive victory and expanded her boundaries), and the Gulf War of 1991 (former President Bush Sr.'s war against Iraq). Presented in a precise, unbiased manner, the detailed information served up here makes this a primary reference source for those researching the strategy and tactics of desert warfare. Also newly available at the same price: Air Wars: Fighter Aircraft of World War Two, The American Civil War: A Union Divided, and Great Commanders of the Civil War. Highly recommended.
