Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the exact text of a diary , discovered after his death, which Private John Harris kept surreptiously during his time with the 8th Army in North Africa during the Second World War including his experiences at the famous battle of El Alamein.Some of the entries are unintentionally hilarious such as the description of members of another Company working behind enemy lines who captured some camels 'but on finding they were a bit fierce let them go again'.The diary commences in April 1942 with his voyage right round Africa and up the Suez Canal to join his Company and concludes two and a half years later after landing in Italy.The photos included in appropriate places are some of many he brought back from his travels. The diary also contained many contemporary newspaper cuttings which are also included. To facilitate reading Chapters have been created and a few comments and explanations added in italics.

Book excerpt: In this fascinating book, the author tells how badly Britain needed to defeat the German panzer divisions, led by the brilliant Rommel, the "Desert Fox." He evokes what life was like for troops, and describes how day after day the tanks would grind forward, then mass together, their caterpillar tracks screeching across the flinty ground, ready for the great battles - from the dramatic defence of Tobruk to the great climax at Alamein, when Montgomery's Desert Rats finally routrd the Nazi enemy from the shores of North Africa.

Download or read book World War II in Europe, Africa, and the Americas, with General Sources written by Loyd Lee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1997-08-21 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broadly interdisciplinary work, this handbook discusses the best and most enduring literature related to the major topics and themes of World War II. Military historiography is treated in essays on the major theaters of military operations and the related themes of logistics and intelligence, while political and diplomatic history is covered in chapters on international relations, resistance movements, and collaboration. The volume analyzes themes of domestic history in essays on economic mobilization, the home fronts, and women in the military and civilian life. The book also covers the Holocaust. This handbook approaches each topic from a global viewpoint rather than focusing on individual national communities. Except for nonprint material, the literature, research, and sources surveyed are primarily those available in English. The volume is aimed at both experts on the war and the general academic community and will also be useful to students and serious laymen interested in the war.

Download or read book The Soldiers' Tale written by Samuel Hynes and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1998-04-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soldiers' Tale is the story of modern wars as told by the men who did the actual fighting. Hynes examines the journals, memoirs, and letters of men who fought in the two World Wars and in Vietnam, and also the wars fought against the weak and helpless in concentration camps, prisoner-of-war camps, and bombed cities. Interweaving his own reflections on war with brilliantly chosen passages from soldiers' accounts, he offers vivid answers to the question we all ask of men who have fought: What was it like? In these powerful pages the experiences of modern war, which seem unimaginable to those who weren't there, become comprehensible and real. The wide range of writers examined includes both famous literary memoirists like Robert Graves, Tim O'Brien, and Elie Wiesel, and unknown soldiers who wrote only their war stories. Using these testimonies, Hynes considers each war in terms of its special circumstances and its effects on men who fought. His understanding of the psychology of warfare—and of each war's role in history—gives this study its intellectual authority; the voices of the men who were there, and wrote about what they saw and felt, give it its powerful dramatic impact.

Download or read book REMF Diary written by David A. Willson and published by Black Heron Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is how it was to be a REMF in Vietnam- the ice cream, the Coca Cola, the air conditioning, the clean, starched jungle fatigues, and yes, the parades and the whores, I leave nothing out; it is all in there. The typing and the saluting, too. With this, David Willson sets the tone for REMF Diary. Between these covers is a very funny, ironic novel of the Vietnam War. It is a story told by an army clerk stationed in Saigon. His perceptions of the war and of the paper war around him make for hilarious reading.

Download or read book The Taste of War written by Lizzie Collingham and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food, and in particular the lack of it, was central to the experience of the Second World War. In this richly detailed and engaging history, Lizzie Collingham establishes how control of food and its production is crucial to total war. How were the imperial ambitions of Germany and Japan - ambitions which sowed the seeds of war - informed by a desire for self-sufficiency in food production? How was the outcome of the war affected by the decisions that the Allies and the Axis took over how to feed their troops? And how did the distinctive ideologies of the different combatant countries determine their attitudes towards those they had to feed? Tracing the interaction between food and strategy, on both the military and home fronts, this wide-ranging, gripping and dazzlingly original account demonstrates how the issue of access to food was a driving force within Nazi policy and contributed to the decision to murder hundreds of thousands of 'useless eaters' in Europe. Focusing on both the winners and losers in the battle for food, this book brings to light the striking fact that war-related hunger and famine was not only caused by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, but was also the result of Allied mismanagement and neglect, particularly in India, Africa and China. American dominance both during and after the war was not only a result of the United States' immense industrial production but also of its abundance of food. This book traces the establishment of a global pattern of food production and distribution and shows how the war subsequently promoted the pervasive influence of American food habits and tastes in the post-war world. A work of great scope, The Taste of War connects the broad sweep of history to its intimate impact upon the lives of individuals.
