A gripping account of the Second World War, from the perspective of
a young tank commander. In 1944, David Render was a
nineteen-year-old second lieutenant fresh from Sandhurst when he
was sent to France. Joining the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry five days
after the D-Day landings, the combat-hardened men he was sent to
command did not expect him to last long. However, in the following
weeks of ferocious fighting in which more than 90 per cent of his
fellow tank commanders became casualties, his ability to emerge
unscathed from countless combat engagements earned him the nickname
of the 'Inevitable Mr Render'. In Tank Action Render tells his
remarkable story, spanning every major episode of the last year of
the Second World War from the invasion of Normandy to the fall of
Germany. Ultimately it is a story of survival, comradeship and the
ability to stand up and be counted as a leader in combat.
