'War as it should be described - ordinary men facing extraordinary horror'

From the publishers of Normandy '44 and Sicily '43, a stunning new story of the last days of the war.

Serving in a tank during World War II required a particular type of courage. Confined to steel, surrounded by explosive shells, each crew member was utterly vulnerable to enemy attack from all sides. Life - and death - in a tank was a brutal way to fight a war.

The Sherwood Rangers were one of the great tank battalions. They learned their craft the hard way, in the hot deserts of North Africa. From D-Day onwards, they were at the forefront of action until the end of the war. They covered thousands of miles and endured some of the fiercest battles in Western Europe. Their engagements stretched from the beaches of Normandy to the bridges in Eindhoven. They were the first British unit to invade Germany, crossing the Siegfried Line and advancing into the heart of Nazi territory.

Through compelling testimonies and James Holland's expert analysis, Brothers In Arms brings to life the final bloody battle in Europe and offers the most powerful account yet of what it was really like to fight in the last days of World War II.

The new, extensive World War II book by James Holland, THE SAVAGE STORM, is available now.
