A Good Read
I concur with some earlier posts re First Light by Geoffrey Wellum - one of the best, if not THE best account of The Battle of Britain I have read.
Closer to the ground, Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose is outstanding in every way. He delves into the personality of all the major players and it is replicated in an awsome manner in the BBC series. A classic. I defy anybody not to shed a tear in the final programme, particularly when Dick Winters relays the 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war.....................?' story.
Dick Winters is thought of like a god by his men.
