�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The ordinary fighting man often paid the price for his generals' mistakes. In this book Charles Whiting recreates the combat soldiers' world of the Second World War down to the most intimate detail: their weapons, the food they ate, how they learned to cope with the ever-present threat, how they lived in the hope and died in agony.

From the beaches of Normandy to the cruel setbacks at Arnhem and the Battle of the Bulge, '44: In Combat from Normandy to the Ardennes is the story of early confidence turning to disillusion as the campaign wore on - appalling strategic blunders, of strained relations among the Allies, of ideals steadily overtaken by the grim realities of war.

This text recreates the combat soldiers' world of in the Second World War, describing their weapons, their food, how they coped, lived in hope and often died in agony; as early confidence turned to bitter disillusion following appalling strategic blunders and strained relations among the allies.

CHARLES WHITING was Britain's most prolific military writer with over 350 books to his credit. He saw active service in the Second World War, serving in an armoured reconnaissance regiment attached to both the US and British armies. He was therefore able to write with the insight and authority of someone who, as a combat soldier, actually experienced the horrors of World War II. He died in 2007.
