'Gripping and authoritative' Andy McNab 'Superb accounts of the
battles and a deep understanding of personalities' Patrick Bishop,
The Telegraph A GRIPPING, AUTHORISED HISTORY OF THE DARING 'RED
DEVILS' TOLD THROUGH THE FATES OF SIX HEROES . . . In Britain they
were known as The Parachute Regiment, but their German enemies
christened them The Red Devils. Circus performers, solicitors,
gravediggers, family men. . . they were ordinary people who became
wartime heroes. Showing what it took to succeed in this new
regiment, Urban vividly brings to life six men and their
experiences across D-Day, Arnhem and WW2 - from the
recently-widowed Geoffrey Pine-Coffin, who had to leave his young
son to head to the front, to Mike Lewis, whose photographs became
iconic images of war. Using deep archival research, British and
German sources, and new material from the men's families, Red
Devils paints a true and moving picture of the heart of war.
