Description:
    "Dermot Rooney. 242p 18 b/w figures, 7 b/w photos, 37 b/w maps, 6 colour maps. Slog or Swan presents the first objective assessment of British Army performance in Veritable to show how fundamental problems with army organisation and fighting doctrine pushed soldiers beyond the limits of endurance. Slog or Swan exploits a depth of previously untouched primary sources to shine new light on British Army effectiveness by showing how soldiers fought the pivotal operation of 1945. Where previous works have fixated on Normandy and Arnhem, and made broad judgements on leadership or morale, this book drills into the tactical realities that defined British fighting power."
