Synopsis

How much of the World's written military history is actually true? Can anyone confirm exactly what was said by the Duke of Wellington after he just scraped a win against Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo? Most written military history is sexed up to make the protagonist's look more heroic and the book more readable, in reality any soldiers, sailors and airmen under fire have other things to worry about whilst in action (like dodging bullets) rather than remembering, verbatim, who said what and to whom. In this book Brian (Harry) Clacy and Terry Cavender have put alternative words into the very mouths of famous people who took part in some historical meetings and battles. From Henry V at Agincourt through to the notorious fighting men in the First and Second World Wars, we have written about what could have been said, rather than what is already extolled in print. Most of the 'facts' about the acclaimed encounters in this book are accurate as far as history would have us believe, only the dialogue has been made up. How close is the dialogue in this book to those of the real life conversations? You be the judge.
