To War Without Arms by Alexander Reynolds
The expertly-edited wartime journal of Revd. Alexander Reynolds, Royal Army Chaplains Department. A humane, honest and thoughtful witness of some of the most dramatic events in 20th-Century history, in this book Reynolds tells his story of the Normandy campaign in his own words.
DrTrew has done an excellent job of editing the diary and the book will be of interest to historians of the Normandy campaign and also of chaplaincy in WW2. I think the main contribution of the book to the vast literature on D-Day is that Reynolds’ diary emphasises the human element of the operation, which is so often overshadowed by the technology and higher command issues. (David Blake, Curator, Royal Army Chaplains’ Department Museum, Amport House)
