    Andreas Working on two books

    There is a recent book by Alexander Joffe "Operation Crusader and the desert war in British history and memory" which is basically all about how he would have been a better choice than Ritchie to replace Cunningham.

    Hard to argue with that, since a broken broomstick would probably have been a better choice.

    All the best
