I found two great books from Osprey Publishing this past fall at Southern Front in North Carolina. The books are reprints from a set of older titles. The first is on Libya in 1940, dealing with the Italian invasion and subsequent retreat to the Libyan frontier. The second covers Rommel’s opening moves and carries the reader through Operation Battle Ax.
As usual, the books are well illustrated with maps and period photos though with fewer artist illustrations than more current Osprey Titles. The summaries of the fighting are well written and very easy to read and follow.
In the section illustrating the armies, there are some fairly detailed orders of battle for the various combatants. These OOBs are book specific with the Germans only appearing in the Tobruk book. As an extra surprise, the bok on Libya has a small section in the back with wargaming ideas for gaming the campaign. Both enjoyable reads and well worth picking up.
