A history of the British Army during World War II, written by
military historian Sir David Fraser. The author seeks to bring to
life every major campaign fought by the British Army in World War
II: the momentous defeats in France, Belgium and the Far East in
the early stages, the turning point in North Africa in 1942,
through to the final victories against Germany and Japan in 1945.
All aspects of the conflict are described, from grand strategy at
the highest levels right down to the very real experience of
infantry, gunners and tankers in the field as the British Army
battled its way through the War. The book shows how the seeds of
the war were sown at the end of the previous war, 21 years earlier,
and how successive governments in the 1920s and 1930s failed to
safeguard Britain from the building threat of Germany. It describes
how, by the beginning of the conflict, Hitler's armies were
superior in every respect. But as the catalogue of defeats mounted,
the British army were learning hard lessons and painfully acquiring
the skills needed to turn the tables. It is therefore a story which
moves from triumph to tragedy, and then upward to triumph at the
last.
