Summary "The War Against Germany and Italy: Mediterranean and Adjacent Areas" by Hatlem et al. is a historical account written in the late 20th century. This work is a pictorial record documenting the military actions and operations of Allied forces in the Mediterranean Theater during World War II. It highlights key campaigns such as the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, and Italy, supported by a rich collection of photographs and illustrative materials that depict both the battlefield and the human experiences of soldiers. The opening of the volume sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the Mediterranean Theater, beginning with the Allied invasion of French North Africa. It outlines the planning and execution of Operation TORCH, starting from the agreement between American and British governments to undertake this crucial military operation. The narrative focuses on the involvement of various military branches and emphasizes the challenges faced, including unexpected resistance from French forces and the subsequent Axis response. This section also introduces the evolving nature of military logistics and air support, presenting a detailed background and context for the pivotal campaigns that would follow in Sicily and Italy.
