D-Day, Arnhem and The Rhine.

Robert F. Ashby Ed. Jonathan Walker
A superb memoir of one man’s war. Robert Ashby was a glider pilot who survived landings at D-Day, Arnhem and the Rhine crossing. Jonathan Walker has done the job of editing so that he does not interfere with the original memoirs but adds sufficient notes, in italics, to provide both context and a little additional information. To highlight any part of the book would be to do a disservice to the whole. The text is supported by a set of very special, many personal, photographs.
For anyone with even a passing interest in the Second World war this is a must read. We cannot recommend it too highly.
