Military History Monthly August 2016

This is a very useful book, giving a clear picture of the horrors of war as seen by the fighting men, as well as the bond between soldiers and the occasional elation of victory.

History of War Web

Another very readable book from an author well known to students of the Second World War... This superb book is illustrated and has a useful three page index.

The Armourer

Whilst this book can be read cover-to-cover, it also has the advantage of being equally readable as a collection of individual accounts, each of which can stand alone as an important personal testament. The text is supplemented by several useful maps and black and white photos plus a number of evocative contemporary pencil drawings.

As a record of war, as experienced through the eyes of those who faced enemy fire directly, this publication is worthy of its current reprint.

Military Modelling

This is a fascinating book. The author has accounts from soldiers from across all arms and ranks and each one provides a insight into a particular event or activity. The accounts are varied and describe moments of peace or action and vary from the very funny to the very sad; the descriptions provided by padres and what they were required to do are especially moving and poignant.

Army Rumour Service

Of all of the multitude of books that provide insight into the Second World War, this is one of those few books at the top of the list that manage to convey what happened, through the unique experiences of a cross section of people who took part in the struggle, tankers, sappers, foot soldiers, gunners and all the 'trades' of an army.
