Lighting the Torch: The first major Anglo-American Operation of World War Two

Hello and welcome to the third episode of the Helion Military History Podcast, where we delve into the world of military history and specifically the books published by Helion & Co. 

Today Dr Christopher Brice talks with Dr Sam Wallace about his book on Operation Torch, the first major Anglo-American operation of World War Two, and how it played an important part in the learning experience for future operations. They discuss lessons learned, how an Allied way of war was forged, and how such a major amphibious operation was made possible in the first place.
