A GRIPPING, AUTHORISED HISTORY OF THE DARING ''RED DEVILS'' TOLD THROUGH THE FATES OF SIX HEROES . . .

Showing what it took to succeed in this new regiment, Urban vividly brings to life six men and their experiences across D-Day, Arnhem and WW2 - from the recently-widowed Geoffrey Pine-Coffin, who had to leave his young son to head to the front, to Mike Lewis, whose photographs became iconic
