The defeat of the Allied forces in the battle put doubt into the minds of many-all of whom assumed the righteous democracies of the western Allies could not be defeated in the field by the armies of Fascism. The defeat suffered by the Allies had nothing to do with right versus wrong, however, but was very much a product of a number of operational shortcomings on the part of the Allies. Poor logistics, failures on the part of American leadership, lack of unity of effort on the part of the Allies, the lack of combat experience, and inferior equipment all combined to contribute to the failure at Kasserine. Despite the setback at Kasserine Pass, the Americans proved quick learners, and applied the lessons of the North African experience to the remainder of their campaign in the European theater. 517 $aBattle Of Kasserine Pass 606 $aTunisia 615 0$aTunisia. 676 $a940.54229999999995 700 $aCarr Jr. USAF$b Major Vincent M$01374995 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158775403321 996 $aThe Battle Of Kasserine Pass$93408925 997 $aUNINA
