I usually only read non-fiction but thought I'd go back and read these two books published by the Imperial War Museum, as a bit of a change from the usual military history and autobiographies. They are both based heavily on the wartime experience of the two authors and although fictionalised give a very authentic account of the experience of the Poor Bloody Infantry and tank crews during the campaign in NW Europe. They are also very well written and an easy read, so a bit of light relief from the heavier historical volumes that I usually wade through. The cover art is also brilliant and very evocative.
