Cloth. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. wear to d/j corners. . Drawing together the contrasting testimony of numerous writers and participants - poets and generals, sailors and firefighters, paratroopers and land girls, fighter pilots and factory workers - Godfrey Smith has assembled a unique collage of war experience, ranging from the horrific to the comic, from the dramatic to the humdrum, from the majestic to the bizarre. There are graphic accounts from every theatre of war, while the great actions such as Dunkirk, the Blitz, the convoys, the Battle of Britain, the Desert War and the invasion of Europe are described from several perspectives, with varying degrees of immediacy or hindsight.
