Customer Reviews of Alamein
Analysis of the armies at Alamein Bungay's book on Alamein is quite different from that of Latimer's. In a sense, they compliment each other very well. While Latimer focuses on the actual combat, giving you a "worm's eye view" in many cases, Bungay choses to focus more on the institutions and leaders that participated.
In this sense, Bungay reviews the armies that fought: Italians, UK/Commonwealth, and German. Logistics, politics, morale, leadership, docrtine, and tactics are all assessed. By doing so, Bungay provides a wealth of information on why the battle developed as it did. The actual battle is dispensed with in a chapter or so, more as a way of demonstrating that the institutional factors predicted the nature of the battle.
This is a good book, particularly if you are interested in how command, doctrine, tactics, and politics influence what occurs on the battlefield. If you are interested only in a straightforward "blow by blow" of the battle, then Latimer's book is recommended.
