Axis Forces in North Africa 1940-43
Claudio Antonucci
The Italian campaign in North Africa during WWII is an
oft-neglected topic, and isn't generally well covered in books.
However, this latest volume in the popular Warriors series from
Concord goes a long way to remedying the situation. Written by an
Italian author, Claudio Antonucci, this book is filled with useful
information about Italy's war in North Africa. Not only are Italian
forces covered, but German subjects also receive good exposure too,
adding to the value of this book.
This volume is unique - it makes a departure from the usual format
of Warriors books in that it features a much larger number of color
plates. In fact, there are no less than 44 color plates contained
between the covers! This makes "Axis Forces in North Africa
1940-43" an indispensable reference for modelers and military
enthusiasts wanting a comprehensive understanding of Italian and
German uniforms in the North African theater. Each plate is
beautifully rendered in full color and sharp detail, with the
accompanying text providing a high degree of detail about uniforms
and personal equipment on display.
The book doesn't just include color illustrations, for there is a
wide assortment of black and white photos too. Many of these photos
will be completely new to readers, and they show off personnel,
their uniforms, and weapons to full advantage. Both Italian and
German subjects are covered in these photographic sections. The
book also begins with a helpful 5-page summary and chronology of
the Italian and Panzerarmee Afrika campaign in North Africa.
This book covers a topic that is not well known. The author
expertly deals with the subject of Axis Forces in North Africa,
ensuring that this book is a veritable treasure trove of
information about Italian troops. The sheer amount of color plates
only adds to its attractiveness.
