My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2135292973">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
A big thank you to Jon Latimer, Thistle Publishing, and Netgalley for the free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased opinion.<br /><br />I’m very impressed with how clearly Latimer discusses battle lines, cities, commanders, etc. typically when I read such books I get a little lost in the details<br />there is so much action leading up to Alamein that I keep thinking the battle has been fought only to realize everything I'm reading is still Part One-the prologue in the sand. Strategy and tactics are discussed in detail and I can picture what's happening. My heart pounded even though I️ knew how it ended. <br />This was a constant race to the finish with airplanes, artillery, and armor battling in full force with more passion and courage than I’ve ever read. Alamein is a portrait of bravery.

a gripping account of this turning point of the Second World War, Jon Latimer gives us the experience of the men who fought – British, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Germans, Italians and others besides. We feel their fear, elation or despair as they fight it out at close quarters amid a welter of confusion – heat, sand, smoke, noise, dust, flies and blood.

My thoughts:
If you love to read or know anyone that loves to read about WW2 ,then this is for you or them, Mr.Jon Latimer has away with bring to live the very history his writing about. At least that's the way it felt while I was read Alamein, it was like I could see and feel every thing that was happening. It gives you not only a idea of how it was over there but the lives of both sides of the war. With that said I would like to say thinks to NetGalley for giving me a chance at reading Alamein , and learning more about what was going doing WW2.
