Summary
Like the Battle of Stalingrad in the Soviet Union and the Battle of Midway in the Pacific, El Alamein has all the features of a monumental shift in fortunes. On the one hand, there is the once invincible Axis army being halted and then pushed backed decisively; whereas the tired Allied army begins to regroup and then successfully counterattack. How did this change in fortunes come about? Was El Alamein a stunning tactical masterpiece, or was it an inevitable victory for the Allies - a foregone conclusion?
