Reviews for By Tank: D to VE Days
A minor classic in battle-picture painting. It has an authenticity about it which could only come from deep personal experience, translated by a lucid pen.
The Times
Movingly and evocatively written. Tank! surely merits a place on the bookshelf of Second World War classics.
