Synopsis

Tales of brave and selfless deeds used to be part of every boy's education. We grew up sharing stories with our fathers, uncles and grandfathers of how other men had lived their lives, met their challenges, reached their goals and faced their deaths. Becoming a man was about comradeship and standing by your friends whatever the circumstances. And it meant that sometimes it was more important to die a hero than live a coward's life.

Through Neil Oliver's vivid, stirring new accounts we can rediscover the stories that inspired us. These are the epics that we should all know by heart; the tales of courage, endurance and sacrifice that made men out of boys.

'Great book good author, however I should like to make two comments if I may. On page 34 Neil mentions Land Rovers being used in 1941,these vehicles were not producted until 1948 and on page 281 there is a reference to Istanbul as being the capital of Turkey this is in fact Ankara.'
