Try Vincent O'Hara's book "Torch: North Africa and the Allied Path to Victory," USNI Press, 2015. |

I recall Rick Atkinson's first book in his trilogy of the US Army in Europe in WW2 – Army at Dawn: North Africa 1942 – 1943 has a very detailed account of the Torch landings. |

Agree with Wackmole, but take a look at Paul Robinett's Armor Command if you get a chance, to get an eyewitness account at a tactical level. |

Unit histories contain some useful information and details not carried in more general histories. My unit, the US 7th Infantry Regiment's (3ID) WWII history covers its landing at Fedala and can be found here for free download from Merriam Press: payhip.com/b/Qx15 This site contains other books that might have some helpful information too. Here's a link to Merriam Press's free download catalog: link |
