Overview
A World War Two tank commander gives a direct, harrowing, and exciting account of fighting at the invasion front. On June 4, 1944, 20-year old Stuart Hills, fresh from Officer Cadet Training, went to war. Two days later, his tank sunk, and he and his crew landed from a rubber dinghy with just the clothes they had on. Then came the struggles through Normandy in a replacement tank, where he engaged the enemy in a constant round of close encounters-swiftly becoming a master of tank warfare in the process. A remarkable story of survival.Book Details
