Time To Kill - Paul Addison

. .

Résumé :
In the 50 years since the end of the Second World War, much has been written about the men at the top, but little attention has been given to what soldiering was like for the NCO's and junior officers. This book explores the conditions in which the soldiers of many different countries lived and died, as well as their experience of battle.
