A well praised book and series worth reading !
Book reviews from Publishers Weekly, and other Book Critics from around the world all agree that this book and others in this series have praised the author for his talents and skills in the masterly story telling.
This book is no different ! Twists, turns, action, battles, adventures, even the result of cause and effect form the ineptitudes of some of those of the High Command on the British side bursts forth from this book.
Well worth reading the entire series and I believe YOU WILL AGREE once you have read even one book of the series.. Each book in the series can be read as a ‘stand alone‘ or as one of the many in the series. You WON’T be disappointed !!!!!!

More derring-do
This was a good story that gave me a laugh or too. Now I know this is a story of warfare, but you can't help laugh at the antics of the men, who are supposed to be in charge. It sometimes has to make you wonder how some people get to have command over men's lives. Fiction yes, but fiction sometime mirrors fact. The generals are like most generals wanting things to be their way right or wrong. If you like stories that have adventure in them give this one a shot.
