Cast your minds back to episode 103 Angus discussed Eric Dorman-Smith with James Colvin. At that time James was busy researching and writing a book looking at the British Army in North Africa, its tactics and training in an effort to explain the difficulties the 8th Army had fighting the Afrika Korps.

Jame’s book was released last year but Angus has only recently managed to find the time to read his book 8th Army vs Rommel.
