Devil's Own Luck: Pegasus Bridge to the Baltic 1944-45: Pegasus Bridge to the Baltic 1944 - 1945

by Denis Edwards (Author)

Synopsis

Although strictly forbidden to keep diaries, Denis Edwards managed to record his experiences throughout nearly all his time in Europe in 1944-45. He brilliantly conveys what it was like to be facing death, day after day, night after night, with never a bed to sleep in nor a hot meal to go home to. This is warfare in the raw ' brutal, yet humorous, immensely tragic, but sadly, all true.
