Though Ritchie took over on Nov. 26, only eight days after the offensive had begun, it was too late to repair the damage.
The announcement of General Ritchie's appointment was timed to coincide with Britain's second offensive last week: from Tobruk westward.
Because the success of the next push—to Dérna or Bengazi—will directly reflect Ritchie's ability, it will be the high spot of his career, and of the offensive.

 Iowa Caucus - Gazette Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Neil Ritchie, organizer for the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy in Minneapolis, said concentration of market and political power in a few large agricultural corporations has turned farmers into contract workers, hired hands and renters of land.
A revolving-door employment relationship between those corporations and their regulators, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, is a "troublesome, virtual job-sharing arrangement" with no regard for any conflict of interest, he said.
Concentration by large agricultural corporations has turned high-wage union jobs at meatpacking and food processing plants into low-wage, dangerous, non-union jobs increasingly filled by immigrants, according to Ritchie.

Remaining convinced of the basic concept, Stirling managed to bluff his way to see Major General Neil Ritchie (Deputy Commander-in-chief N.Africa and Middle East).
His idea was to raise a new group from the remains of the Layforce organised into smaller units that would parachute down near enemy airfields, plant delayed-action explosives, then walk to rendezvous points to be picked up by L.R.D.G. (Long-Range Desert Group) patrols.
The plan was bold and both Ritchie and his Commander in Chief thought it might just work.
