Book Description
"When the Axis fores were finally driven from North Africa in May 1943, over 250,000 were taken prisoner, as many as had surrendered to the Russians at Stalingrad. It was a major victory and a crucial stepping-stone to the future invasion of Italy and France." "Yet, just a year before, the Allies had been facing one disaster after another. In North Africa, the Eighth Army's terrible defeat at Gazala represented Britain's nadir. Slowly but surely, however, the Allies began to turn the tide. This crucial period was a time of learning for both America and Britain and, by the end of the Tunisian campaign they had finally gained material but also certain tactical advantages over Germany, particularly in the air war. As this book shows, the development of a tactical air force - principles that are still used to this day - were founded over the skies of North Africa." "And yet this is also a book about the men - and women - who found themselves caught up in this struggle, people drawn from all parts of the globe and brought together to make up these polyglot Allied forces: British and American, Nepalese and Punjabi, South African and Australian, Maori and Zulu, and from all ranks and all services."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
An organized-crime boss, Big Al, is living a life filled with drugs, money, and guns, and he gets involved in a love triangle that places his organization through the most challenging time to date. Life threatens his chances and his leadership, which can't crumble during dangerous obstacles, proving that a relationship is a must when it's from the law of the street code. Nisha, Big Al's girl, is involved in a love triangle from a man in her past (another drug boss) who brings issues into her future. The personality of different bosses captures her emotion, blinding her awareness of actions taking place around her thug lifestyle, and obstacles arrive, causing repercussions for what is right and what is wrong. Loyalty and unity and power emerge with brains versus aggression, while the two gangs' beef with each other divide neighbors completely. Death before dishonor is to be followed through. This book is an action-packed novel revolving around urban-society issues that occur in many relationships and neighborhoods. Each page is intense and easy to read and entertaining, pulling the reader deeper and deeper into the story.
