Editorial Reviews
Aeroplane Owners and Pilots Association
This book is difficult to put aside. I intend to read it again more thoroughly. Before opening the pages I thought, wrongly, that ... the contents would be stale. This is a long way from the truth.
Synopsis
With the passage of time rapidly depleting the ranks of WWII combat veterans, the chance to learn what battle was like first hand is fast disappearing. Nothing can quite surpass a truthful personal account of such experiences to remind us of the courage of the young but also to dispel the myth that war is somehow glamorous. In his collection of 20 short stories, related to him by the men themselves, best-selling author Mel Rolfe has done just that. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the subject.
