A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

“Absolutely gripping. A tremendous sense of immediacy and the reality.” Robert Boyd
It is understood that an army marches on its stomach. In a World War, it also marches on its trains and lorries.
Jack Donaldson writes to his wife throughout the war. He gives a vivid account of the hard work, parties and danger involved in organising transport and getting supplies through to the British troops and to the Russians round the back route via Persia/Iran in World War 2.
These letters have been carefully selected to show the most interesting part of the war job, although censorship prevented a full account.
Jack was also an avid reader and discusses all the books he reads. He gets through an astonishing number of books, many of which were contemporary fiction. No room for that here, but there is a blog on this topic on the website: womanswar.com/jack-donaldson.
