EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative map, titled "The War in North Africa: A Strategic Contour Map of the Desert Arena During the Second World War," was created by renowned cartographer G.H. Davis in 1942. The map provides a detailed and intricate representation of the North African theater of war during this pivotal period in world history. The conflict in North Africa began in September 1940, with the Italian invasion of Egypt and Libya, and intensified throughout 1941 with the British counteroffensives and the entry of the United States into the war. The map covers a vast area, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Red Sea in the east, and from the Egyptian border with Sudan in the west to the Algerian border with Tunisia in the west. The intricate contour lines and topographical details provide a visual representation of the challenging desert terrain that both Axis and Allied forces had to navigate. Key locations and battles are marked on the map, including Tobruk, El Alamein, and Kasserine Pass, which played significant roles in the outcome of the war in North Africa. The map also highlights the strategic importance of the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, which were crucial for the transportation of supplies and reinforcements to the Allied forces. The map's historical significance lies in its ability to convey the complex strategic landscape of the North African campaign during the Second World War. It offers a unique perspective on the military tactics and maneuvers that shaped the course of the conflict, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and challenges faced by the soldiers and civilians who lived through this tumultuous time. G.H. Davis's "The War in North Africa: A Strategic Contour Map of the Desert Arena During the Second World War" is a valuable historical document that continues to captivate scholars, military historians, and anyone interested in the history of the Second World War in North Africa.
