Slowly working my way through books that are from my brother-in-law's childhood. This is not something I would have picked up as a kid. I'm not overly fond of war books now, unless it's a war romance. I wasn't expecting to like this at all. But to my surprise, I found myself really enjoying it. I can see why young boys would love this, all the excitement of battle, in a tank! Being captured by the enemy with a dramatic escape. I've got two more books from this series and am looking forward to reading them.

The first war book I read haven't looked back since.
