Description
A Soldier's Struggle for Europe 1944-45 is an extraordinary account of war, told through the pages of Peter White's unauthorized journal. As a lieutenant in the King's Own Scottish Borderers, Peter kept a diary of his regiment's advance into Germany, despite being forbidden to do so by his commanding officer. The journal reveals both heroes and horrors, as Peter records the darker aspects of humanity that emerged during this period. With unflinching candour, he describes the men who broke under the strain, the binge drinking that affected the platoon, and the atrocities committed in the face of death. This graphic and finely crafted account has been hidden away for over 50 years, offering a rare glimpse into the experiences of a British soldier during World War II.
