Description

The Red Devils: An Authorized History of the Parachute Regiment in World War Two By Mark Urban This gripping account tells the story of Britain's elite airborne infantry, from their creation to their daring actions during World War Two. Through the experiences of six men - including those who were circus performers, solicitors, and communists - Urban reveals what it took to succeed in this new regiment. The Parachute Regiment was forged from a diverse group of individuals, each with their own unique background and motivations. Despite their differences, they formed a tight-knit community that would be tested in the most extreme circumstances. Based on deep archival research and new material from the men's families, Urban's history is a compelling and moving depiction of the highs and lows of battle. From the D-Day landings to the Arnhem drop, Urban brings to life the stories of those who shed blood for their country in daring actions. This is an unvarnished look at one of the most elite units of World War Two, and a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of its members.
