Description

The final bloody scramble across Europe is vividly brought to life in this gripping history of the Sherwood Rangers, one of the great tank regiments of World War II. Living and dying in a tank was a brutal way to fight a war, with every crew member utterly vulnerable to enemy attack from all sides. From the burning deserts of North Africa to the Normandy beaches and the bridges at Eindhoven, the Sherwood Rangers endured some of the fiercest fighting in Western Europe. Through compelling eye-witness testimony and expert analysis, James Holland sheds light on the experiences of these ordinary men facing extraordinary horror. Their story is one of courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice, as they covered thousands of miles and fought their way across Europe. This book is a powerful account of the final days of World War II, giving readers a unique insight into the reality of life in a tank during this period.
