Notes: 'I cannot remember when I enjoyed reading any Second World War autobiography more. It is always fascinating to listen to a professional who knows his job backwards; and when that professional also has a fine and original gift of self-expression, coupled with a complex yet singularly likeable nature, fascination borders upon hypnosis . . . This will surely become a classic testament of one very gallant soldier's war.' The Bookman.
'He writes wonderfully ... The account of the fighting at that ill-fated block at "Blackpool" near Hopin in Upper Burma, is epic' The Daily Telegraph.
