Description

By Simon Forty

Hardback

British soldiers, with their old-fashioned helmets, spring-powered PIAT anti-tank guns and veneration of heroic defeats, may have lost the propaganda war, but their record speaks for itself: they may have started badly in France in 1940 and the Far East in 1941, but they were victorious in the North African desert, in Europe and in India and Burma where the 'Forgotten Army' first held the Japanese and then inflicted at Imphal and Kohima the greatest loss to the Japanese on land.

They held back the might of the Panzers in Normandy in 1944, chased the Germans back into Holland and came within a whisker at Arnhem of circumventing the Siegfried Line, and won battle after battle against a fanatical defence on their way to final victory.

This book doesn't cover the progress of the Second World War, but looks in detail at the weapons, uniform, accoutrements, equipment and tactics of the Second World War British infantryman, following the themes of the Haynes Great War British Tommy and German Infantryman Manuals.

Really Useful and Interesting

perfect for modellers and for general interest alike

An excellent overview

For anyone interested in the men who were the backbone of the British and Empire war effort (1939-1945), this is a really useful book. It is well illustrated and has details on uniforms, badges, insignia, weapons, organisation of regiments etc etc As someone with a keen interest in the history of that war, I have often found it frustrating not to know more of the detail mentioned above when studying a particular theatre or campaign especially when the men involved in the fighting were basically taken as a given by some authors - this book, for me, adds to that understanding and is going to be a constant companion when reading accounts of, say, the North Africa campaign.
