Publisher's Summary
The best way to understand what it was like to fight in the Second World War is to see it through the eyes of the soldiers who fought it. The South Notts Hussars fought at almost every major battle of the Second World War, from the Siege of Tobruk to the Battle of El Alamein and the D-Day landings.
Here, Peter Hart draws on detailed interviews conducted with members of the regiment to provide both a comprehensive account of the conflict and reconstruct its most thrilling moments in the words of the men who experienced it.
This is military history at its best: outlining the path from despair to victory and allowing us to share in soldiers' hopes and fears, the deafening explosions of the shells, the scream of the diving Stukas and the wounded, the pleasures of good comrades and the devastating despair at lost friends.

Insightful, captivating and knowledgeable
Another well researched and well written book in Audiobook form from Peter Hart!!! From the first chapter; I was hooked due to the excellent and well read voice of the narrator. I felt as if I was on the journey with the lads from the South Notts Hussars from the period they signed up through the war years and all the way to the end of their active service overseas.
Strongly recommend this audiobook as well as any others by Peter Hart

An awakening insight
I've had an interest in aviation and submarine operations for most of my life and I'm quiet ashamed to say that I have neglected to broaden my horizons much past our Australian shores. Peter Hart has managed to capture the stories of those that did it hard and did so quietly. My deepest respects and gratitude to those men and thank you to the author for capturing some of this important part of our history.
