Summary
Stuart Hills embarked his Sherman DD tank on to an LCT at 6.45 a.m., Sunday 4 June 1944. He was 20 years old, unblooded, fresh from a public-school background and Officer Cadet training. He was going to war. Two days later, his tank sunk, he and his crew landed from a rubber dinghy with just the clothes they stood in. After that, the struggles through the Normandy bocage in a replacement tank (of the non-swimming variety), engaging the enemy in a constant round of close encounters, led to a swift mastering of the art of tank warfare and remarkable survival in the midst of carnage and destruction. His story of that journey through hell to victory makes it thoroughly enjoyable.

I enjoyed this account
I really enjoyed the book, but the narration was unbearable, flat delivery and the pronunciation was pretty awful. I think I would probably have enjoyed it more in book format.

Poorly Narrated
As other reviewers state. The story was ruined by a robotic and monotone narrator.
I would recommend David Render’s “Tank Action”, or James Holland “Brothers in Arms”.
Both tell the story of the same regiment and engagements. Far better narrated.

Great book ruined
This is a great book but the reader utterly murders the story through atrocious pronunciation
