Re: I'm NOT a great book reader - especially WWII nostalgia, but....

Each to his own, yogy.
You are most certainly better informed on events than I am. As said, I have read very little & can only say that I found the book full of the sort of information that I would have greatly valued in those days.

I don't recall ever being briefed on tactics, enemy intent, armament, weak spots, effect of our guns, comparative performance or, in fact, anything that might have achieved better results &/or saved our skins.

I'm only eternally grateful to the *** who put me out of action in the early days & spared me September '40 - which I would not have lived through.
