The Battle of El-Alamein Trilogy Books 1–3 (Danny Shaw/Manfred Brehme #1-3)

In this 3-book box set:

BOOK 1: THE SHADOW OF WAR
England, 1933. Danny Shaw’s life is simple — stealing apples from local farmers and play-fighting with his friends. In Germany, Manfred Brehme joins the Hitler Youth to escape his repressive home life. War is on the horizon and the reality of the battlefield is about to shatter their simple lives.

BOOK 2: CRUSADER
North Africa, July 1941. Rommel’s Afrika Korps is winning the war, but Brehme is traumatised by the horror of battle. He vows to do his duty to the Fatherland despite his misgivings. On the Allies’ side, Shaw is similarly disillusioned. He readies himself for tank warfare, knowing the enemy are better-led and better-equipped. Battling the horrific conditions of war, both Shaw and Brehme must overcome their growing mistrust of the incompetent leaders forcing them to fight.

BOOK 3: EL ALAMEIN
El Alamein, January 1942. Soldiers on both sides are exhausted and disillusioned from the bitter warfare. But it’s far from over. Shaw’s hopes are given a boost with the arrival of a new leader and new tanks. But Brehme is losing heart — can he keep fighting for a cause he no longer believes in? With the fate of the war hanging in the balance, Danny Shaw and Manfred Brehme face the ultimate battle for survival . . .
