THE BRITISH SOLDIER of THE SECOND WORLD WAR

Product Information

The experience of the soldier in the Second World War, in threatres as diverse as Europe, the Western Desert and the Far East, was broad, but has been overshadowed by that of the other combatants. Peter Doyle redresses the balance in a wide-ranging analysis of the British soldier's signal contribution to the war effort all over the world between 1939 and 1945. Trace the road to Dunkirk, the development of Fortress Britain, the rearming of the forces that opened the 'second front' in Europe, and relive what it was like to serve in the Desert and against the Japanese in the Far East. Colourful photographs of the military equipmenty, art and ephemera, and quotes from contemporary documents, give just some idea of the British Tommy's experience in this hard-fought war.
