Corps Commander
By Sir Brian Horrocks
This is the story of a great campaign, from D-Day to VE Day, told by one of Britain’s foremost fighting generals.
Corps Commander is a military history with a difference, as Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Horrocks witnessed battle from two very different perspectives. First, from the front line, where he was actively involved in the fighting, as at Arnhem. And then from the standpoint of high strategy when he was in regular contact with Eisenhower, Montgomery and other commanders.
Yet in this book, Sir Brian tells far more than his own story. His collaboration with two distinguished military historians, Eversley Belfield and Major-General H. Essame, has produced a book of wide scope, and XXX Corps is presented against the backdrop of a much wider campaign. The result is a gripping description of a key fighting unit, combined with a vivid and authoritative account of how the Allies won final victory in the West. Corps Commander is bound to please readers who enjoy military history and strategy, and those particularly interested in World War II.
