Craig Moore has had a passion for military history since he was child. He is chiefly interested in the two world wars, in which eight of his close relatives fought and two died. One of his uncles lost a leg in Normandy in 1944 when his Sherman tank was hit by a shell. In 2010 Craig retired from London’s Metropolitan Police after 30 years of service. He lives in south-west London where he makes regular contributions to military history magazines. He also often visits museums and military events around the world. This is his ninth book on topics pertaining to the world wars.
