A propos de cet article

Dust jacket complete, unclipped, crease to back flap, small closed tear a few light marks. DJ sunned spine. Now in a clear protective sleeve. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Illustrated with photographs. xvi, 256 pages clean and tight. The story of a great campaign, from D-Day to V-E Day, told from the standpoint of one of Britain's foremost fighting generals. A military history with a difference, for Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Horrocks witnessed the battle from two different levels: from the front line where he was actively involved in the fighting, as at Arnhem; and from the standpoint of high strategy when he was often in contact with Eisenhower, Montgomery, and other commanders. Sir Brian has told far more than his own story. His collaboration with two distinguished military historians, Eversley Belfield and the late Major-General H. Essame, has resulted in a book that deals with a large arena. The role of XXX Corps has been presented in the context of the whole campaign. The result is a gripping narrative of the actions of a key fighting unit, combined with a vivid and authoritative account of how the Allies won final victory in the West. Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Horrocks KCB, KBE, DSO, MC, LL.D is one of Britain's most distinguished living soldiers. He was born in 1895, and served with the Middlesex Regiment during the First World War. During the Second World War, on his return from Dunkirk, Sir Brian took over the 9th Armoured Division in Britain before being summoned by Montgomery to command XIII and X Corps in the Middle East. He took part in almost all the important battles in the campaign against Rommel, including Alam Haifa, Alamein, and Mareth. At Bizerta he was very seriously wounded and his death was thought inevitable, but he was flown home to the Cambridge Hospital in Aldershot and fourteen months later he was fully recovered. In 1944, just after D-Day, he took over command of XXX Corps. He led the Corps from Normandy to Bremerhaven, being involved in many of the major actions of this great campaign, including Arnhem. Size: 8vo.…
