Many years after becoming the youngest person ever to be awarded
the VC for attacking a company of Panzer Grenadiers on his own - an
action that proved a turning point in one of the major battles of
the Second World War - John Kenneally made an extraordinary
confession. The courageous hero of the Irish Guards, who had taken
on a whole company single-handed was not, in fact, John Kenneally
at all, but Leslie Jackson, the illegitimate son of Neville Blond
and Gertrude Robinson (a 'high-class whore'), who had deserted his
former regiment, the Honourable Artillery Company. In THE HONOUR
AND THE SHAME, he tells his story with great verve and frankness -
a story of riotous living, great courage on the front line, and
intense loyalties. Full of the escapades of battle - from the
triumphant Tunisian campaign to the bloodbath of Anzio - and the
many adventures of a freewheeling youth, THE HONOUR AND THE SHAME
is a vivid portrait of a fascinating man.
