About This Item
London, United Kingdom: Pimlico, 2002. New book, 352 pages. Rich in narrative and anectdote, this poignant book has at its heart short biographies of soldiers lives who have seen action from Passchendaele to Anzio, from the Malayan emergency to the Mau Mau uprising, from Aden to Indonesia. Philip Ziegler is fascinated by the values which these veterans share, and which the Army incalculated in them: self-discipline, acceptance of risk and pain, patriotism, loyalty to their fellows, and of course, sometimes bigotry, narrow-mindedness, even blinkered stupidity. To read this book is to understand what soldiers are all about, what they fight for, and how they fit into the world of the twenty-first century.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
