Stanley Christopherson

An inestimable personal account by a veteran of many of the most vital episodes of WW2: From Egypt & El Alamein to D-Day and onto the liberation of Belgium and the eventual ruins of Berlin the diaries of Stanley Christopherson (a most heroic - though he would never have admitted it - thus typically unassuming Englishman at war). Marvellously edited by Historian James Holland it documents the British war effort from its disastrous opening year to the final triumph.
