Description
Denis Edwards' memoir of his time in Europe during World War II is a remarkable account of one soldier's experiences. Despite being forbidden to keep diaries, Edwards managed to record his time in the war, covering nearly all his experiences from D-day onwards. Edwards' story begins with his early training under Major John Howard and then takes readers through the airborne landings at Pegasus Bridge and the subsequent events of each day. His account of the Rhine Crossing is particularly noteworthy, providing a unique perspective on one of the war's most significant battles. This book offers a firsthand look at life as a soldier facing death on a daily basis, with no comforts to return to after each long day.
