Popis: This chapter explores the difficulty of settling on an area of operations with an ally, referencing the development of an Allied plan. It also notes the appointment of Dwight Eisenhower as the Supreme Commander of the Torch landings. The North African landings took place on November 1942 after a logistical and organisational triumph which saw men delivered from the United States and various parts of Britain to three main landing areas simultaneously. The outcome triggered tension between the theatre commander Eisenhower and Winston Churchill. The chapter details the Tunisian campaign wherein Churchill felt constrained making usually detailed interventions in an American operation.
