Turning The Tide

In "Turning The Tide," Thomas McKelvey Cleaver presents a vivid narrative history of the USAAF's often-overlooked campaign in North Africa and Sicily during World War II, narrated by Christopher Ragland. This engaging account highlights the strategic need for the Western Allies to engage the Axis forces in 1942 and chronicles the rapid development of the USAAF in the Mediterranean, evolving from reinforcements to a formidable force. Through first-hand accounts from pilots and aircrew, Cleaver illustrates the challenges faced in combat against the Luftwaffe and the valuable lessons learned that would later impact air operations in Europe.
