Fennell claims to "discover" that morale was important to British performance in North Africa and military operations in general, but who disagrees with that?
Yet Fennell gratuitously claims to be countering an "orthodoxy" that morale did not matter or at least did not matter as much Fennell thinks it did oh, the argument of a thousand incremental degrees. Fennell does not actually review any literature on morale, except to gratuitously dismiss superior theories as older he does the same to previous histories of the North African campaign, BTW and thus fails to assess the importance of such real concepts as leadership, primary groups, regiments, initiative, tactical competence, crew skills, material balances, etc.
Of course, he wants to write a history, in which case he should stop messing with theory.
In any case, the history is tiresome: Finally, we get to Fennell's main objective: Montgomery thought that morale mattered; he told people that morale mattered; he reduced everything training, commanders, unit structure, strategy to morale; eventually Britain won in North Africa.
