I'm doing a small study on any WWII battle and I thought talking about El Alamein would have been the best choice, because screwing up would not maybe be noticed (unpopular battle... wonder, why,

I don't know practically anything about the battle and thought, although I don't have to do a study, as I've filled my quota, I'll get some info on it.
So, I hear the battle was very similar to Cannae. More accurately put, it was considered as a copying of tactics, showing tanks roles in modern military. Any comments on this, for instance?
And the strategical situation wouldn't bother, either.
Thanks,
