Inhaltsangabe

Lion Rampant is Robert Woollcombe's graphic account of his experiences as a front-line infantry officer with the King's Own Scottish Borderers during the desperate battle for Normandy and the Allied advance into Germany. Vividly evoking the confusion, horror, and comradeship of war--from the killing fields of Normandy bocage, through house-to-house fighting in shattered Flemish towns, to the final Rhine crossing--Lion Rampant is a powerful, authentic, and moving story, telling with extraordinary clarity how the author, his fellow officers, and the men of his company lived through one of the most bitter campaigns in history.
