Publisher: The Falcom Press (London) Limited, London, 1952 This is an account by a former British officer of a small unit of the British 1st Parachute Brigade, the " 1st Parachute Squadron, Royal Engineers. " They fought from Nov. l942 to Sept. l944; in Tunisia, Sicily, Italy and at Arnhem, This is the story of a small unit of the 1st Parachute Brigade during two years of action in Tunisia, Sicily, Italy and finally Arnhem. It is written by a young troop leader of the Brigade who served in all the most important actions and was finally wounded in some of the toughest fighting of the Second World War.This is one of the best written war stories you will ever read. The perception of important detail is acute, and the author's ability to describe from personal experience the horrors and excitements of the toughest action both graphically and modestly make fascinating reading. Peter Stainforth has a real sense of highlighting the big event: the first action fought by the Parachute Brigade at Oudna, and their subsequent withdrawal; the action fought to hold the last German counterattack in North Africa at Tamera; and finally the three episodes in the Airborne Division's stand at Arnhem. Throughout, his own adventures, the battle for Arnhem bridge and the action in the Oosterbeek perimeter, are all brilliantly recounted All books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand.
