Afrikakorps #2

Part of Editions Paquet's Mémoire 1939–1945 historical series, this second volume — subtitled Crusader — plunges readers into the sun-scorched theater of the North African campaign. Olivier Speltens's cover commands attention with a weathered German soldier in desert gear and tanker's helmet filling the foreground, while armored vehicles push through the haze behind him, perfectly evoking the grinding mechanized warfare of the desert war. A focused, atmospheric entry in what is shaping up to be a compelling chronicle of one of World War II's most brutal fronts.
