Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Lancashire Fusiliers 1939-45 tells for the first time the fascinating story of this regiment during the Second World War. The campaigns in which the eleven battalions of the Fusiliers played their part are famous. After skirmishes during the 'Phoney War' and the traumas of the retreat to the beaches of Dunkirk, the regiment had a vital role in North Africa, Malta, Sicily, Italy and Burma. They fought in the battles of Medjez el Bab, Termoli, Cassino, Monte Ceco, the first Arakan, the relief of Kohima, the second Chindit expedition at 'White City' and Mogaung - but this stark and factual outline does little justice to the dogged determination and bravery, often in appallingly difficult conditions, of the men and officers of the Lancashire Fusiliers. Not forgotten are those units that stayed at home, where unrewarding tasks and the endless waiting for an emergency that never arises can often seem to be a fate worse than actual contact with the enemy." "This lively account, well illustrated with maps and photographs, will be of interest to all military historians - and also to anyone with memories of the regiment, or perhaps even of the campaigns described here."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This History is part of the Second World War Memorial of the East Lancashire Regiment. Every battle recorded in this History is described by one who took part in it; what the narrative thereby loses in continuity of style and treatment we believe it will gain in truth and vividness.Not all the deeds of individual gallantry can be fully recorded in a book of this size; the details of many more will never be known.In these pages we do not glorify war. We record the fear and the courage; the savagery and the compassion; the numbing noise and terrifying silence; disaster and success; hardship to the limit of human endurance, and the never failing determination to overcome all difficulties; and always, between the lines, may be seen the unifying and sustaining influence of the spirit of the Regiment. "Spectamur Agendo"-and may this record of our deeds be a fitting tribute to those who served with us, and who did not return.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a combination of new perspectives and new evidence, this book presents a reinterpretation of how 21st Army Group produced a successful combined arms doctrine by late 1944 and implemented this in early 1945. Historians, professional military personnel and those interested in military history should read this book, which contributes to the radical reappraisal of Great Britain’s fighting forces in the last years of the Second World War, with an exploration of the reasons why 21st Army Group was able in 1944–45 to integrate the operations of its armor and infantry. The key to understanding how the outcome developed lies in understanding the ways in which the two processes of fighting and the creation of doctrine interrelated. This requires both a conventional focus on command and a cross-level study of Montgomery and a significant group of commanders. The issue of whether or not this integration of combat arms (a guide to operational fighting capability) had any basis in a common doctrine is an important one. Alongside this stands the new light this work throws on how such doctrine was created. A third interrelated contribution is in answering how Montgomery commanded, and whether and to what extent, doctrine was imposed or generated. Further it investigates how a group of ‘effervescent’ commanders interrelated, and what the impact of those interrelationships was in the formulation of a workable doctrine. The book makes an original contribution to the debate on Montgomery’s command style in Northwest Europe and its consequences, and integrates this with tracking down and disentangling the roots of his ideas, and his role in the creation of doctrine for the British Army’s final push against the Germans. In particular the author is able to do something that has defeated previous authors: to explain how doctrine was evolved and, especially who was responsible for providing the crucial first drafts, and the role Montgomery played in revising, codifying and disseminating it.
