Description
A gripping account of one man's experience during World War II. In September 1939, Anthony Rhodes is sent to France, serving with the British Army. His days are filled with the mundane routines of army life - friendships, billeting, administration - as the months of the "Phoney War" pass. As the conflict escalates, Rhodes and his comrades face a desperate wait for evacuation at Dunkirk in the spring of 1940. This harrowing story is based on Anthony Rhodes's own experiences during this pivotal moment in history. The book offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of World War II, providing a personal and intimate account of life as a soldier during this time.
