Description
A gripping account of the Second World War from the perspective of a young tank commander, Tank Action by David Render and Stuart Tootal, is a remarkable story of survival, comradeship and leadership in combat. Fresh from Sandhurst, Render was sent to France in 1944, where he commanded a tank crew in some of the most ferocious fighting of the war. His ability to emerge unscathed from countless combat engagements earned him a nickname that would become synonymous with his bravery. The book tells the story of Render's experiences, spanning every major episode of the last year of the war, from the invasion of Normandy to the fall of Germany. With unflinching honesty, Render recounts the challenges he faced, the comrades he lost, and the lessons he learned as a leader in combat. This is a story of one man's remarkable journey, and the enduring power of courage and determination in the face of overwhelming adversity.
