The title How Modest are the Bravest  suggests that this is not just a simple narrative describing those battle actions in isolation. The author explores further into motive and aftermath in a unique way. Rather than confine himself to British heroes he covers warriors from a number of the countries involved in the theatre. He chooses not only those who gained the very highest immediate awards, such as the Victoria Cross, or Congressional Medal of Honor or Militaire Willems-Orde but includes some who, in the author's own words, achieved a considerable aggregate of valour over a longer period. The author's contention, based on his own Normandy experience, is that, in the moment of utter crisis, it is often the quiet, modest man, rather than the braggart or bully, who steps up to accept the ultimate challenge of imminent death. He therefore looks beyond the military careers of the individuals in order to explore their characters more fully. In doing this he finds that in several cases the tight-lipped battle hero suffered from long-term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In one case the hero suffered so severely thirty years after the war that he had to retire from a business career. Tout is also an Honorary Research Fellow of Keele University, known for his studies of world ageing and the stages of the human life course. His is therefore an appropriate pen to describe the long-term effects of PTSD which could drive a veteran hero into a locked room in order to wrestle with his mental ghouls. From time to time the reader may discern that the man writing might have been present at the action described. In fact in several of the battles featured Tout was either there or nearby or involved in a similar situation at another time. The plain narrative is also spiced by apt descriptions, as in the case of the prolific bomb and mine defuser, John Bridge who was required to lay his ear on the beating heart of Death itself. British readers may be intrigued by unfamiliar cases like that of 19 year old Panzergrenadier Erich Gostl who, with face shot away and blinded in both eyes, continued to fire towards the sound of the opposition guns, as though rigor mortis had seized the trigger. Blind Gostl then went on to gain the formidable Doctor of Law degree in Vienna. Four members of the Resistance are also mentioned, from a young French girl who cycled with code messages under her saddle, or the covert Harry who secretly mobilised an entire army of hundreds of dockers to mobilise suddenly and occupy Antwerp docks before the Germans could blow up the installations on retreating. In the last chapter the book takes a twist, quoting acts of valour in Tout's own squadron which, although extremely laudable, did not gain awards, thus illustrating the attitudes and circumstances necessary for a supreme award like the VC. Finally the heroes make their own brief self-deprecating statements about their own actions, like the highly-skilled John Bridge's attribution of his miraculous survival to sheer luck, or Gostl's I could not do anything else at the time.

Myths that have grown up since the end of the war suggested that \"Goodwood\", a British initiative, foundered whilst \"Cobra\", undertaken by the Americans, prospered. The author contends, however, that together these operations started a series of advances, which were to culminate in the encirclement and ultimate destruction or capture of masses of German troops within the notorious Falaise Pocket in August 1944. Combining his narrative with the eyewitness accounts of those who were there, Ken Tout explodes the myths surrounding these operations and claims \"Goodwood\" as an important advance at not too great a cost. Credit is given to soldiers on both sides, whether American, British, Canadian or German, for their resolute efforts in almost impossible situations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49539842638097,"sku":"GOR002379374","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50663519551761,"sku":"CIN0750928220A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50853983977745,"sku":"GOR001777992","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51513380503825,"sku":"GOR003018845","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0750928220.jpg?v=1750817619"},{"product_id":"in-the-shadow-of-arnhem-book-ken-tout-9780750928212","title":"In the Shadow of Arnhem","description":"The Battle of Arnhem in September 1944 has been much publicised, with its extraordinary parachute drop and the gallant defence by Frost's few men of the bridge at Arnhem. However, its relative failure left the Allies holding a 30-mile stretch with the enemy firmly entrenched on both sides. The village of St Oedenrode was liberated on 18 September, but Allied troops did not capture Schijndel, four miles away, until 23 October. The Arnhem debacle left vast stretches of Holland to the left and right of the salient occupied by enemy forces, strategically placed to menace any future plans. These areas of Holland had to be cleared by Allied troops in platoon or company strength, fighting in tight situations against bitter skilled resistance, losing one or two casualties at a time. There was none of the awesome and inspirational massing of troops and armour as seen in the battle for Normandy, for Arnhem itself, or in the Battle of the Bulge yet to come. Interweaving narrative with eyewitness accounts of British, Canadian and Polish troops, Ken Tout reveals how these men suffered and died on a scale far exceeding the casualties of the immediate assault on Arnhem.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49541728928017,"sku":"GOR001602405","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50103638655249,"sku":"GOR005801432","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0750928212.jpg?v=1750785276"},{"product_id":"bloody-battle-for-tilly-book-ken-tout-9780750930567","title":"The Bloody Battle for Tilly","description":"The fierce battle to capture the French village of Tilly-la-Campagne was an exceptionally bloody episode in the story of the allied breakout from Normandy in the summer of 1944.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49549449855249,"sku":"GOR001434497","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50468063281425,"sku":"CIN075093056XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53647298461969,"sku":"GOR001802161","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/075093056X.jpg?v=1750945405"},{"product_id":"end-of-war-book-ken-tout-9780752459134","title":"An End of War","description":"After D-Day in 1944 many British troops believed the war would be over by Christmas.

Driving through the night, the British tanks reached their objectives behind German lines and linked up with their Canadian compatriots.
