Rommel's Defeat in North Africa

How did the the desert war against Rommel impact the course of WW2?

Today, we unravel the dramatic North African campaign of World War II. Discover how the Allies turned the tide against Rommel, why Tunisia’s fall was as pivotal as Stalingrad, and how these battles shaped the fate of Europe.

We're joined by Saul David, broadcaster, historian and author of 'Tunisgrad: Victory in Africa' for a sweeping look at the strategy, leadership, and global stakes of the desert war.
