How Britain Maintained Its Empire in 1942

Michael M. Rosen wrote a June 20, 2021 article for National Review that reviews a new book, by Israeli journalist Gershom Gorenberg, War of Shadows.  This book discusses the Nazi failed effort in 1942 to split the British Empire in two by taking Cairo and Alexandria in Egypt and controlling the Suez Canal.

It is a great review of an interesting book that fundamentally stresses the urgent importance of good intelligence and with code breaking.  The review is available on line at:
