At Close Range by Peter Hart

At Close Range by Peter Hart

The South Notts Hussars fought at most British battles of the Second World War, from the Siege of Tobruk to the Battle of El Alamein and the D-Day Landings. Here, Peter Hart draws on detailed interviews conducted with members of the regiment to provide both a comprehensive account of the conflict and reconstruct its most exhilarating moments: the deafening shell explosions, the scream of diving Stukas, the devastating despair of lost friends, and the unbreakable bond between comrades. Written in the words of the men who experienced it, this is military history at its best.

Praise for Peter Hart's previous books: A superb account of the tactics that finally brought victory on the Western FrontThe Last Battle pays just tribute to the allied military achievement of 1918, too often forgotten in our preoccupation with earlier horrors. -- Max Hastings
Thought provoking, erudite, yet eminently readable and entertaining: Peter Hart is a historian and author at the peak of his powers -- Richard van Emden
Exquisite ... Hart lets theses gunners speak. -- Gerard de Groot * the Times *
Memory can play false, of course, but these recollections, admirably curated, have authenticity. -- Allan Mallinson * Spectator *

Peter Hart is the oral historian at the Imperial War Museum. His last book The Last Battle: Endgame on the Western Front, 1918 won the Military History Matters Book of the Year Award 2018.
