The Taste of Battle by Bryan Perrett
Few people today experience a live war situation; even professional soldiers can serve their career without going to war. Yet the question is often asked, what is it like? How do combatants cope with the danger? How does a battle look to the ordinary soldier? In a unique mix of dialogue, reportage and objective historical analysis - 'faction' - Bryan Perrett brings the reality of war to the reader in a direct, no-holds-barred, exciting narrative. The fictional soldiers in this book, based on recorded accounts, are at the very heart of the action. From Mons in 1918, through the First and Second World Wars to Malaya in 1956, Vietnam in 1968 and Kuwait in 1991.
After an active service career with the Royal Armoured Corps, and inspired by the stories of George Alfred Henty, Bryan Perrett took up a career as military historian and writer of popular narrative histories. His many books, all founded on meticulous research, find a wide and enthusiastic readership. Bryan Perett lives in Ormskirk, Lancashire
