Beat you again Craig ! Forgotten Voices of Dunkirk: Amazon.co.uk: Joshua Levine: Books Bugger. It's funny cuz I was gonna check to see if any new one's were going to be released. I'm running out of bookshelf space as a new book on the Battle of Britain came thru the post today!
Anyone read the Burma book yet I have quite a few of the series and if this is as good I will buy it.
If the ones I've read so far are anything to go by it will be the 'dogs'. I've got Secret War, Somme, D-Day and Burma still to read and Dunkirk is per-ordered. I love these books and I've made a point of collecting them all !

Cheers Drew, have to be honest I have so far got the WW1&WW2 books the Holocaust,secret war, somme but still want the Falklands and Burma books and I bet as you say they will be the dogs! And Gage, if you have tried most of others I reckon you wont go far wrong with the Burma book it is a very intresting theatre of the war
I like to think I know a bit about the Falklands but I was genuinely shocked by the state of the British Armed Forces in the early 80's reading accounts from the book. It gives a good account of why the Belgrano was sunk (Another surprise for me). Quite a few home truths in the book and a must read for anyone interested in the Campaign.

Drew have you read "Sod That For A Game Of Soldiers" I got it from the author Mark Eyles Thomas, who was with 3 Para during the conflict he writes candidly of his war and the loss of three of his friends its a sober honest book and Mark, is a great guy and I still have contact with him now.
The falklands one is excellent wtid.. partcularly on the role of the islanders themselves Pat is a very good friend of my bro who sayed in her house on a vidit few years back. A pretty gallant bunch of bennies they wwere and proud to be called so by the Toms.
I'm actually reading Forgotten Voices of the Secret War right now. I really makes you want to believe that Germans have a significantly greater capacity for being bastards than most people.

It's amazing how much success the Germans had in the secret European war. I thought the Falklands and the Blitz/BofB were outstanding.
