Publisher's Summary
A fascinating foray into British military history revealing the life of the British soldier at war.
From the Roman invasion of Britain to the retreat from Dunkirk, from the horrors of Culloden to the courage of Rourke’s Drift, we experience first-hand the stories behind the triumphs and tragedies that make up the history of the British Army. Told entirely in the words of those who were there.
Performed by an outstanding company of award-winning actors including Dame Eileen Atkins, Cheryl Campbell, Nigel Davenport, Alex Jennings, Richard Johnson OBE, Hugh Laurie CBE, Michael Maloney, Geoffrey Palmer OBE, Michael Pennington, Prunella Scales CBE, Samuel West, John Wood CBE and full supporting cast.
Also available as part of The Gazette Box Set, a six-volume edition (Army, Navy, Sport, Sporting Pastimes, Travel at Home, Travel Abroad) creating a vivid portrait of British life through the centuries.
What the critics say
"It is a highly enjoyable collection. Some pieces are just dazzling." (Independent on Sunday)
"From the same stable that produced The Chronicle, my favourite audio this year, I've just listened equally spellbound to a compilation of travellers' tales at home." (Guardian)
