Cliff Lloyd Book order

The memoirs of Sergeant Herbert (Topper) Brown during the Second World War (1939-1945), covering the campaigns in the Western Desert, Syria, Italy and Northern Europe. The book is a microcosm for the experience of war by the majority of servicemen who were forced to endure it. The memoirs are a testament to humour and stoicism of the British 'Squaddie' and a compelling read for those who wish to understand the ordinary soldier in WW2.

This book details the planning and execution of Operation Ironclad, the 1942 British invasion of Diego Suarez, aimed at securing a vital naval base to protect supply routes to India and the Middle East. It explores whether the operation was a military necessity or a political move by Churchill. It's the first in the 'Battle' series by History and Latte Ltd.
