El Alamein to the River Sangro is Field Marshal Montgomery’s firsthand account of the British Eighth Army’s campaigns during the Second World War. First published in 1948 and drawn from his personal war diaries, it traces the victorious advance from El Alamein across North Africa to Tunis, through Sicily, and into Italy as far as the River Sangro, before Montgomery returned to England to prepare for the Normandy landings.

Long regarded as a military classic, the book offers an unparalleled record of events as they unfolded, revealing the strategic thinking of one of the war’s most successful, yet often misunderstood commanders.
