Rather Than Telling The Tale Of Those Who Escaped, Peter Smith Reveals A Story Of Those Sacrificed In The Rear-guard Battles.for Us The Battle For France Was Not Jun-1940 There Were Still 41,000 British Soldiers Fighting The Germans Alongside Their French Allies.mounting A Vigorous Counterattack At Abbeville And Then Conducting A Tough Defence Between The Somme Front And The Seine, Peter Was Fighting A Very Uncertain Battle For Mere Survival For An Even More Uncertain Future.peter Smith Tells His Own Story And Captures The Drama Of Those Military Operations And Subsequent Capture By Rommel's 7th Panzer Division (the Infamous 'ghost Division') Who Moved With Clandestine Stealth Towards Their Objectives.nothing Prepares A Man For War And There Can Be Little Doubt, Peter Was Not Prepared, Even Less So For A Life As A Pow.
