Saul David for Tunisgrad: Victory in Africa

Join us for an evening with the Sunday Times Bestselling Author, Saul David, as we celebrate his newest work - an epic history about the North African Campaign during the Second World War.

Saul David is a historian, broadcaster and the author of several critically acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction. His history books have been shortlisted for the Westminster Medal for Military Literature. He co-hosts the Battleground podcast with Patrick Bishop.

On 8 November 1942, British and American troops invaded French North Africa as part of Operation Torch, the largest amphibious operation of the war to date. The Germans responded by flooding troops into Tunisia and the stage was set for one of the most decisive clashes of the war. When it ended, six months later, the Allies were 'masters of the North African shores'.

Tunisgrad is the first comprehensive 360-degrees history, told from the perspective of all the combatants, and ranging in focus from politicians and senior commanders to ordinary servicemen fighting in and over the mountains of Tunisia, and across the Mediterranean. Using a variety of first-hand sources, it restores the campaign to its rightful place as a defining moment of the war.

'David recounts battles with enthralling detail, never from a detached distance. He specialises in a worm's-eye view of the war' The Times

'Fascinating and absorbing... What emerges from this compelling tale of organic evolution and frequent recklessness is the indomitable and pioneering spirit of those involved' Daily Telegraph, James Holland
