Description:Published as part of an ongoing World War II 75th anniversary commemoration, this monograph succinctly covers Operation Torch, the U.S. amphibious invasion of French North Africa in November 1942. Torch was also the first U.S. amphibious operation in this theater and provided a number of lessons learned for both U.S. Navy and U.S. Army for future joint and combined endeavors. A series of vignettes that accompany the main text gives biographical details of key U.S. commanders and provides background details of significant naval vessels of the Torch invasion fleet. Operation Torch directly led to the defeat of Axis forces in North Africa and set the stage for later landings in Italy and, eventually, German-occupied France.Related products: World War II resources collection: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/catalog/wor...Other products published by the U.S. Navy, Naval History and Heritage Command can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/agency/nava...American amphibious assault on French Morocco, 1942Contents: Strategic setting -- French North Africa in 1942 -- Planning Torch -- Torch logistics -- Joint planning and preparations at Hampton Toads -- Commanders' call before crossing -- The Atlantic crossing -- Operation Torch landings: Safi -- Operation Torch landings: Fedala -- Operation Torch landings: Mehdia-Port Lyautey -- The Mediterranean landings: summary of center and eastern task forces -- Analysis.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
