Anthony Cotterell wrote a unique form of war journalism - witty,
sharp,engaging, and so vivid it was almost cinematic. As an
official British Army journalist during the Second World War, he
flew on bombing raids, sailed with merchant shipping convoys,
crossed to France on D-Day, and took part in the Normandy Campaign.
During this time he kept a diary, a hilarious and caustic record of
his role in the war, a diary which abruptly ended after he vanished
in mysterious circumstances after the battle of Arnhem bridge in
1944. Cotterell's diary and selected war journalism, illustrated
with previously unpublished photographs, are presented together
here to shed new light not only on the everyday life of the British
Army in the Second World War but also on the role of the press
during times of conflict. The quality of his writing is truly
captivating and his account of the Normandy campaign is surely the
nearest that a modern reader will ever get to experiencing what it
was like to be in the thick of a Normandy tank battle.
