Description
Footsloggers: An Infantry Battalion at War, 1939-45
This gripping history combines eyewitness testimony with meticulous research to recreate the experiences of ordinary men in an extraordinary war. Based on interviews with the remaining members of the 16th Durham Light Infantry, Peter Hart's book sheds light on the challenges faced by soldiers during the North African and Italian campaigns.
The toll of physical suffering and mental anguish was intense for these soldiers, who were often in the most dangerous locations. A human look at the inhuman nature of war, Footsloggers is a powerful exploration of what it meant to fight in World War II.
