By David Render with Stuart Tootal

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.

Great story of a British Tankers European war

This is a great book about a great man. Amazing insights into the experiences, conditions and trials of a British Tanker from Normandy to Germany. Well written and exciting to read. At times its like you are riding into battle with him in his Sherman. A must read for every WWII tank enthusiast.
