This book details the planning and execution of Operation Ironclad, the 1942 British invasion of Diego Suarez, aimed at securing a vital naval base to protect supply routes to India and the Middle East. It explores whether the operation was a military necessity or a political move by Churchill. It's the first in the 'Battle' series by History and Latte Ltd.
The memoirs of Sergeant Herbert (Topper) Brown during the Second World War (1939-1945), covering the campaigns in the Western Desert, Syria, Italy and Northern Europe. The book is a microcosm for the experience of war by the majority of servicemen who were forced to endure it. The memoirs are a testament to humour and stoicism of the British 'Squaddie' and a compelling read for those who wish to understand the ordinary soldier in WW2.
