Author Description

The record of Anglo-American relations in the Mediterranean during the Second World War was often characterised by deep tensions within the high command, in contrast to the public facade of harmonious and generous cooperation. By focusing on the evolution of the Mediterranean theatre's integrated command structure, this new study illuminates some of the major issues and disputes arising between the Allies from the invasion of French North Africa in 1942 to British intervention in Greece at the end of 1944.
