THE FASCINATING story detailing how one of Nazi Germany???s most talented WW2 generals was stopped by British troops, leading to the Allies??? eventual victory has been revealed in a new book by a man who fought in the battle. The book follows the First Battle of Alamein which took place from July 1, to July 27, 1942 at Ruweisat Ridge. On July 1, 1942, Erwin Rommel broke the centre of British defences at Alamein where his tanks overwhelmed the defence of the 18th Indian Infantry Brigade ??" for the next twelve hours there was no organised defence and only a small number of men stood in Rommel???s way to reach the Suez Canal and saw him withdraw his forces for the first time since January that year at El Aghelia. The incredible story has been unveiled in the book, The Day Rommel Was Stopped: The Battle of Ruweisat Ridge, 2 July 1942 by Major F.R. Jephson MC TD, who fought in the battle and Chris Jephson. It is published by Casemate Publishers. Chris Jephson / mediadrumworld.com
