RE: Book recommendation - North African campaign
I have some books covering battles or operations (El Alamein, fighting in Tunisia) but I haven't read that many books about the North African campaign as a whole either.
For a general overview of the military and political considerations, I used "Hitler's Mediterranean gamble"/"Path to victory" by Douglas Porch. After checking some reviews online, it seems the same book was released under two different titles. There are some of the "usual" errors when it comes to mentioning correct equipment by both sides, but the rest of the information is worth it.
"An army at dawn" from Rick Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy is also excellent.
