Gordon Heynes signed up as a World War II volunteer aged thirty-seven in late 1941. He trained as a tank gunner and was drafted overseas to join the Allied campaign in South Asia. After further training in India, his regiment, the 25th Dragoons, was deployed to Burma, taking part in deadly combat as the Allies fought to contain the invading Japanese forces. Gordon was seriously injured, but recovered to be able to re-join his squadron, before eventually returning home after almost four years, when the war ended.Some time after returning to civilian life Gordon Heynes wrote a fascinating account of experiences, and it is that account that is contained in this book, published by his grandsons, Neal and Gary Bircher. Gordon's story serves as a valuable historical document, but is also much more than that. His captivating matter-of-fact style - for example, infusing depictions of bloody battle scenes with observations of local wildlife - brings his story starkly to life, and it makes for truly compelling reading. Proceeds are being donated to The Burma Star Memorial Fund. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
