Churchill's Desert Rats: From Normandy to Berlin with the 7th Armoured Division - Delaforce, Patrick

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to lower spine extreme; a few light scratches to back of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; No division has contributed more to the downfall of Axis Powers and to the total defeat of Germany. The Desert Rats, the 7th Armoured Division, wore its famous insignia of the jerboa, the long-tailed rodent, with pride. This book tells the story of the divisions' final campaign, from Normandy to Berlin, in the words of the soldiers who fought with it: troopers and privates, sergeants, young troop leaders and company commanders, all have their individual tales to tell. Published in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Normandy landings, this book is illustrated with over forty b&w contemporary photographs showing the division in action. It will appeal not only to those who still have memories of the battles and to those who fought in the Second World War, but also to readers interested in the day-to-day actions of soldiers in the front line for almost a year.
