This new collection of studies presents fresh insights into a war fought over unusually difficult terrain and with exceptional supply demands. From the ongoing Italian geomorphic study of the Alamein arena to individual memories of non-combatant Alexandrians, from the Free French to the seasoned colonial forces of Australia, India, New Zealand, and South Africa, and from vital naval engagements and the siege of Malta to the study of Rommel's leadership and the Churchill-Montgomery duo, this book presents the reader with a detailed yet broad reassessment of the complexities of the war in North

As the founder of the longest-lasting of all the Hellenistic kingdoms, not only was Ptolemy I an able soldier and ruler, he was also an historian and, in Egyptian eyes, a living god. His own inclination and experience facilitated continuous acts of self-creation in a variety of forms, whether literary, dynastic, artistic, or political. His work on Alexander and his campaigns was used by the later Alexander historians, and was one of Arrian's major sources for his Anabasis. In the pages of his own history, Ptolemy constructed a self-portrait characterized by military courage and deep friendship with Alexander. As ruler of the Egyptian kingdom, Ptolemy experienced an elevated model of kingship very different from the Macedonian one: he consciously embraced the divinity of the Pharaoh, a construct that had little to do with the real man who wore the crowns. This book, written by field experts in numismatics, gender, warfare, historiography, Egyptology and religion, examine the many ways in which Alexander the Great's most successful successor consciously made his own legacy.

Military professionals and theorists have long understood the relevance of morale in war. Montgomery, the victor at El Alamein, said, following the battle, that 'the more fighting I see, the more I am convinced that the big thing in war is morale'. Jonathan Fennell, in examining the North African campaign through the lens of morale, challenges conventional explanations for Allied success in one of the most important and controversial campaigns in British and Commonwealth history. He introduces new sources, notably censorship summaries of soldiers' mail, and an innovative methodology that assesses troop morale not only on the evidence of personal observations and official reports but also on contemporaneously recorded rates of psychological breakdown, sickness, desertion and surrender. He shows for the first time that a major morale crisis and stunning recovery decisively affected Eighth Army's performance during the critical battles on the Gazala and El Alamein lines in 1942.

Replacé dans une longue durée de l'imaginaire qui va du IVe siècle - celui d'Athanase qui écrivit la première Vie de saint Antoine - jusqu'à la fin du XVe siècle, avec le Mystère de saint Antoine en Viennois, en passant par les légendes dorées médiévales, saint Antoine l'ermite, « père des moines », révèle un nouveau visage. Le croisement des savoirs, faisant appel à l'anthropologie et au comparatisme, à l'histoire des idées et des croyances religieuses (pour expliquer le symbole du tau ou celui du cochon associés au saint), à l'histoire de l'art enfin (avec le témoignage d'Huysmans sur la représentation picturale des tentations), permet de scruter cette figure-clé de la «mythologie chrétienne». Ainsi, entre légende et mythe peut se définir, autour d'Antoine le mélancolique et l'initié, l'unité d'une tradition culturelle qui, par-delà les siècles et peut-être même les civilisations, fait dialoguer l'Orient et l'Occident, le texte et l'image, l'Antiquité, le Moyen Âge et la Modernité.
