Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor of several very readable accounts of maritime warfare in World War II, O'Hara makes a sound contribution to the literature on the war in North Africa. --Robert Farley, Lawyers, Guns & Money The first U.S. offensive in the European theater in World War II was Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa. The action involved U.S. naval air, surface and amphibious action against the navy and air force of Vichy France, which governed Morocco and Algeria. The author credits the operation with forging U.S.-U.K. amphibious cooperation, bringing France back on the side of the Allies and, ultimately, being crucial in routing the German Afrika Corps. Seapower O'Hara's gripping operational narrative is the great strength of his book This book's corrective to the widespread assumptions of easy success makes an important contribution to the historiography of the war in the Mediterranean and North Africa.
