Although strictly forbidden to keep diaries, Denis Edwards managed to record his experiences throughout nearly all his time in Europe in 1944-45. He brilliantly conveys what it was like to be facing death, day after day, night after night, with never a bed to sleep in nor a hot meal to go home to. This is warfare in the raw ' brutal, yet humorous, immensely tragic, but sadly, all true. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR002388111

Synopsis :

Now available in paperback, this book brilliantly portrays what it was like to be facing death day after day with neither a bed to sleep in or a hot meal to look forward to.

This is warfare in the raw - brutal yet humorous, immensely tragic but, sadly, all true. A diary which was brought to a wider audience when the hardback was published in 1999.

Having sold out in a few months it is now being published in paperback for the first time.
