Reviews
"Orr Kelly has dramatically brought to life the desert war bymasterfully weaving the view of higher headquarters with the pathosof the foxhole. MEETING THE FOX takes the reader on a grippingjourney from North Africa's beaches and drop zones, the practicallyforgotten disaster at Sidi bou Zid, to the final battles inTunisia. MEETING THE FOX is destined to rank among the bestnarrative histories on the American experience in North Africa." (Patrick O'Donnell, author of Beyond Valor and Into The RisingSun: In Their Own Words, World War II's Pacific Veterans Reveal theHeart of Combat) "An almost bullet by bullet, shell by shell account, Meeting theFox offers riveting personal experiences from those who fought theAxis forces during the desperate campaign for North Africa." (Gerald Astor, Historian, Author of A Blood-Dimmed Tide and TheGreatest War Vols. I-III)
