8vo. 160pp. Original publisher's red cloth boards, lettered in white, with the striking unclipped dust wrapper by Redgrave. Boards slightly bumped, wrapper torn and faded without major loss. Internally bright and clean, decorative endpapers showing warfare scenes from the London Illustrated News. Annotated throughout by Henry Williamson with his reactions to the text. Some passages marked in red pencil, highlighting his true feelings about the Holocaust, including striking through some passages entirely.

Collected dispatches from R. W. Thompson, one of the few Second World War Correspondents with a 'roving commission', meaning he could travel freely behind Allied lines. Thompson has here collected his best dispatches for the Sunday Times in 1944-45, including the assault on Walcheren, the Rhine, the surrender on Luneburg Heath, and his report of Belsen on April 19*, four days after the liberation.
