About the Author
Martin Brayley has recently retired from the armed forces after 24 years as a much-travelled military photographer, and is now pursuing a career as a freelance photographer and writer. A long-time collector and researcher of militaria, his published books - with co-author Richard Ingram - include World War II British Women's Uniforms (1995); The World War II Tommy: British Army Uniforms, European Theatre 1939-45 in Colour Photographs (1998); and Khaki Drill & Jungle Green: British Tropical Uniforms 1939-45 in Colour Photographs (2000). Mike Chappell spent 22 years in infantry soldiering, retiring in 1974 as RSM of the 1st Bn., The Wessex Regiment (Rifle Volunteers). Since beginning to paint military subjects in 1968 Mike has gained world-wide popularity as a military illustrator, and has been a prolific artist and author for Osprey for well over 20 years. He currently lives and works in Kent.
Synopsis
The inportance of the British Army's contribution to World War II - and of WWII in the history of the British Army - is impossible to overstate. This first of three titles covers the introduction of new uniforms and equipment, based on a new tactical doctrine, in the 1930s; the costly lessons of Norway and France, 1940; the grim period when Britain stood alone in the world against Hitler's Germany; the slow build-up to the Second Front, and the army which crossed the Channel on D-Day 1944, and liberated huge areas of Western Europe by spring 1945.
