Overview

With the passage of time rapidly depleting the ranks of WWII combat veterans, the opportunity to learn what battle was like first hand is fast disappearing. Nothing can quite surpass a truthful personal account of such experiences to put the horrors of war in their real perspective and dispel the myth that war is somehow glamorous. In his collection of 20 short stories, best-selling author Mel Rolfe has done just that. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the subject.

'A timely publication...all the stories are dramatic and, in many instances, breathtaking in the events they describe. It is the anonymity and enormity of what happens that makes it so fresh and interesting. Well worth having and...a valuable historical record.' Air Pictorial; 'A pulsating and personal narrative that relives the exhilaration, fear and horror of the 20 crews.' Oxford Times; 'Meticulously researched...giving a diverse appeal in which lies the true quality of this eminently readable work.' Grantham Journal
