Summary
The only way to truly understand what it was like to fight in the Second World War is to listen to the experiences of those men who were there. And often, there was nowhere more dangerous than on the ground.
In Footsloggers, Peter Hart reconstructs one infantry battalion's war in staggering detail. Based on his interviews with members of the 16th Durham Light Infantry, Hart bears witness not only to their comradeship, suffering, dreadful losses, and individual tragedies, but also their courage and self-sacrifice as they fought their way across North Africa, Italy, and Greece. This is a human look at the inhuman nature of war from the author of At Close Range and Burning Steel.
Contains mature themes.

A sensitive and moving history
I really appreciate Peter Harts approach to his subject matter. He deals very sensitively with the protagonist’s of his story and I sense he felt a great duty to honour the men of the DLI which he achieved beautifully. It’s a wonderful read and the characters involved are very well portrayed. Insightful and well researched it’s well worth a listen.
