These are the accounts of men and machines at war in the world's most hostile, unforgiving regions: Napoleon's expedition to Egypt in 1798-99; the British campaign along India's northwest frontier from 1849 to 1852; the battles for Iraq during World War I; the British counterattack against the Italians in North Africa in 1940-41; Erwin Rommel (the Desert Fox) and the Afrika Korps' exploits in World War II; the Yom Kippur War between the Arabs and Israel in 1973; and the 1991 Gulf War.
