A gripping story of friendship and division in the midst of one of World War II's most dangerous campaigns. They went to war as boys. Will they make it home as men? D-Day: June 6th, 1944. The trajectory of the Second World War – and the course of modern history – is changed for ever. For three young former schoolmates from Wales, the war is only just beginning. James was the school cricket captain. Now he is in charge of a troop of Sherman tanks. Mark, just nineteen, must lead a platoon of infantrymen into battle. And Bill, always something of a loner, sees the heart of the fighting as a private soldier. These young men are part of one of the bloodiest and most brutal episodes of the whole Normandy campaign: the battle for Hill 112. Those who come through the carnage will never be the same again. A spellbinding evocation of one of the key campaigns of World War II. Perfect for fans of Robert Harris and Simon Scarrow.
