The Desert War Then & Now

[Darrell]

I'm a big fan of ATB's magazines and books but I would think a book featuring battles that took place in featureless terrain (e.g. - a desert devoid of landmarks, shifting sand, etc.) would not lend itself very well to ATB's 'Then and Now' format. Those who have bought the book, what are your thoughts?

North Africa is not all barren sand wasteland. You need to read up a little.

Yes, and you need to be a little less presumptuous. Now, back to the thread.

You were the one that made the statement not me. So maybe crack open that squeeky wallet and buy it.

For me the ATB format worked fine in this book, if anything it as less well suited to their airfield books.

The magazines and books they have produced since 1973 rate up there with some of the best books released. I have all 161 (as of Summer 2013) of the magazines and a big chunk of the hardcovers. Its actually too bad they never started with color (what pictures in color they did take or received). Looking back I think it took away from the effect (how to really distinguish between THEN and NOW). However a minor complaint. Not many you can make on the series.
