One of three very thick volumes. I read the first 120 pages, which was enough to get the troops ashore in Morocco and Algeria, but then it got REALLY confusing. This author doesn't skip many details, including where the commanding admiral had dinner after meeting with Roosevelt. Sounds like there really was quite a fog of war and not necessarily American victories, at first.
