War In The Desert: The Eighth Army at El Alamein (1982) By James Lucas
 
A tribute to those who fought at El Alamein, Lucas' narrative demonstrates the point of view of the four principal arms of the service: the infantry, the Sappers, the Gunners and the tank men.
 
Lucas has very skilfully set personal experiences by participants against a detailed and closely-reasoned account of the great engagement, its immediate forerunners and the outcome. A fascinating read, a worthy tribute to those involved, and a clear explication of the issues involved. This is an approach that would be well deserved by a host of other actions throughout WWII.
