Robin Hunter Neillands was a British writer known for his works on travel and military history. A former Royal Marine who served in Cyprus and the Middle East, he later became a prolific author, publishing under multiple pen names. His military histories, often featuring firsthand accounts from veterans, challenged revisionist narratives, particularly regarding Bernard Montgomery, the Dieppe Raid, and the Allied bombing campaign in World War II. Neillands also authored numerous travel books inspired by his extensive journeys across Europe. His works, both popular and scholarly, earned him a nomination for the Royal United Services Institute’s Military Literature Award.

Reviews

[David Godfrey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good readable book with lots of history

[Ben Twoonezero · Rating 5 out of 5]

Possibly my favorite travel book, made more so as he was in his fifties when he did this walk, a tough old sod and a very good writer.
