Description
This is the story of the British soldier in the Second World War; a story of endurance through the long years of conflict, in theatres as diverse as Europe, the Western Desert, the Arctic and the Far East.
Beginning on the road to Dunkirk, Peter Doyle traces the life of the British Soldier from 1939 through the development of Fortress Britain and the rearming of troops to open the 'Second Front' in Europe. With reference to military equipment, literature, art and ephemera, he conjures an image of what it was like to serve in the British Army during this gruelling war.
From fighting in the desert on the long road that led to victory in Alamein, to battles against the Japanese in East Asia, this is the real story of the British Tommy, truthful and unglorified.
