It was a good call to re-print this work so that it would come to the notice of another generation of readers. The descriptions are vivid, his love life exhausting and his training harsh. This all come through vibrantly and the experience of the author as a storyteller is unmistakable. This is a good book and an excellent insight into the reality of Special Forces during the Second World War.

This fascinating book follows the 144th Regt, RAC (Royal Armoured Corps) from landing, on D-Day +8, through the Normandy campaign, into Belgium/Holland, and ultimately across the Rhine. It does so in part through the memoirs of several who served in the regiment, leaning particularly heavily on the writings of Marcus Cunliffe... All in all, an excellent book. Well worth reading.
