"With some 66 000 volunteers of all races serving at one time in the Middle East during the crucial war years of 1941-42, South Africa made a notable contribution to Allied victory in Africa. Though primarily a record of the achievements of these men, many of whom served in 8th Army from its foundation until the Axis surrender in Tunisia, War in the Desert reveals for the first time many details of discussions and correspondence on the highest level in the conduct of operations, including much hitherto unpublished material exchanged between Field-Marshal Smuts, the C-in-C, Middle East, and senior officers who played a significant part in the war against Panzerarmee Afrika as well as the shaping of South Africa's own army, navy and air force."
