From The City, From The Plough (Imperial War Museum Wartime Classics)

Opis
Spring 1944, the south coast of England. The Fifth Battalion, Wessex Regiment, wait patiently and nervously for the order to embark. There is boredom and fear, comedy and pathos as the men all drawn from different walks of life await the order to move.
With an economy of language that belies its emotional impact, From the City, From the Plough is a vivid and moving account of the fate of these men as they embark for the beaches of Normandy and advance into France, where the battalion suffers devastating casualties.
Based on Alexander Baron s own wartime experience, From the City, From the Plough was originally published to wide acclaim and reportedly sold over one million copies. This new edition of the 1948 classic includes a contextual introduction from IWM which sheds new light on the dramatic true events that so inspired its author.
'Alexander Baron s From the City, From the Plough is undoubtedly one of the very greatest British novels of the Second World War and provides the most honest and authentic account of front line life for an infantryman in North West Europe.' - ANTONY BEEVOR
'A wonderful novel: vivid, rich, profoundly moving and beautifully written by an author who was actually there, it is a novel that takes the reader into the heart of the Normandy campaign. Quite simply, it s one of the finest novels to have been written about the soldier s experience of the Second World War.' - JAMES HOLLAND, Historian, author and TV Presenter
