War on the Ground - Hardcover
At its peak in 1945 the British Army numbered 3,007,300 men and women - more than the Royal Navy and the RAF combined. Few British families were left untouched by its demands, or by its successes and failures on the road to victory.
War on the Ground completes the highly acclaimed trilogy begun by War in the Air and continued with War at Sea. Compiled from interviews with an enormous range of participants, from the head of Churchill tank testing at Vauxhall Motors to the driver of a Churchill in North Africa and Italy, and from the ladies who made Horsa gliders in a furniture factory in London to the pilot who flew one, fully loaded, on three major airborne operations, War on the Ground charts the story of the land war in the words of the men and women who fought it.
Their accounts are sometimes harrowing and often amusing, but provide uniquely revealing insights into the lives of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events.
