Although the men are relatively inexperienced in battle, Corrigan is determined to instill his own fighting spirit into them. Sent over to France before the main invasion force on D-Day, they have the task of breaking through the German beach defenses, linking up with the paratroops and then carrying out a recce into Caen, Monty's primary D-1 objective. When the landing goes disastrously wrong, Corrigan sets out without permission to join the hard-pressed Red Devils and to proceed to Caen.

i loved the story but the read was ruined on my kindle edition by extremely bad formatting
with words added to the of sentences, you would be reading along and the authors name just appears out of no where , then some numbers just popped onto screen . very poor

the story is strong and very much reminded me of some 1950s films
well paced and full of action
