Description

Take a visual journey through North Africa during the Second World War with Anthony Tucker-Jones and Ian Spring as they chart the path of Erwin Rommel and his Afrika Korps through a series of stunning, rare colour photographs. Taken from Ian Spring's incredible digital archive of over 32,000 original colour photographs dated between 1936 and 1946, more than 250 images in Rommel's Afrika Korps In Colour offer readers a vivid, detailed insight into this German expeditionary force and their long North African Campaign. Fascinating colour photographs of German soldiers, weaponry, tanks and aircraft fill these pages, and are balanced by the equally captivating and rare photographs of the people and the landscapes of North Africa. Renowned author and military historian Anthony Tucker-Jones' remarkable text accompanies Ian Spring's collection of rare photographs, together making for a highly informative and utterly engrossing read. Rommel's Afrika Korps In Colour affords readers a new way of reading and learning about one of the most unique campaigns in the Second World War, and will stay with them long after they turn the final page.
