Description
At a time when Britain stood alone there was one shining light in North Africa.
Richard O'Conner's Operation Compass was on the cusp of capturing the whole of North Africa, before his troops were diverted to Greece. His stunning victories in 1940/41 are now rarely remembered.
Mark Buehner and I discuss O'Conner's career.
