Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. First Edition, so stated, 1st printing. Description: Includes two sections of black and white photo illustrations (over seventy photographs), plus eight maps. ''The hastily mounted invasion of French Northwest Africa in November of 1942 was a remarkable gamble, exposing American inexperience -- from President Roosevelt on down -- when half-trained men were pitted against Vichy France and didn't know whether to expect open arms or open fire. Torch was Dwight D Eisenhower's first major operation: a gigantic air- and sea-lift preceded by months of intrigue around Algiers and Casablanca that had top French generals arresting each other on the eve of D-day, boosted the career of General Mark W Clark, and signaled the beginning of the end for Field Marshal Rommel's AfriKa Korps. Based on firsthand accounts and new interviews with participants, this tells the long-overdue full story of a vital Allied campaign.'' BINDING/CONDITION: black binding with gilt spine text; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact. bibliography, index. 8vo (8.5 inches tall). 272 pages. …
