MEN OF VALOUR: Part One: Fred Jackley: 1 - Tapa blanda

Men of Valour (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1939, war breaks out again between Britain, France, and Germany. A British Expeditionary Force is shipped across the Channel, and settles down to await the inevitable. The spring of 1940 sees the British Army driven back into the sea. A scratch force of gunners, Territorials and infantry make their stand in the historic town of Calais. They are outnumbered and outgunned, desperately trying to defend a town that's being blasted into rubble. There can only be one outcome to this battle. Rifleman Fred Jackley - barely out of his teens and recently married - knows this. Lieutenant Airey Neave - anxious to prove himself a leader of men in combat - knows this. Major John Heywood - a veteran of "the war to end all wars" - knows this. Drawing on the author's own family history, this ambitious trilogy weaves together the stories of three amateur soldiers who were pitted against the Panzers. They fought on so that others might live. They were men of valour. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
