Thanks!

Nice review Kevin

Does the book include mention of the 3in Gun Carrier? I believe the Canadians were the only ones issued that variant for training before it was withdrawn

Also, how many pictures are there for the Dieppe Raid and are any previously unpublished

I've thought of getting this book, and before this the previous version in print, but already having 15 or so books on the churchill its got to the point where its getting harder to find books that offer something new!

Thanks

While I have read in the past a few books on the Churchill, not sure I could top you. But I do know that some of the pictures are from the Canadian Archive, and I believe have not been published before. What I found real good in this book was the description of the tanks role at Dieppe, with information from actual reports and interview with tankers that were there. And yes there is a section of the gun Carrier, to include the development and some pictures.

In my opinion, this is one of the better books I have read on the Canadian use of the Churchill. And I am glad I bought it.

Thanks Kevin

I don't expect a book to be all new information, just have something of interest and it soulds like this one is a winner. Contact them for your commission because they just sold one

Chris


EDIT - At least I would but apparently they don't ship to Singapore according to the options on the drop down box when you order on their site, and I can't find an email address on there either, which doesn't bode well.....

Hi Kevin,

Sounds like a worthy publication. It will have to go on next months buy list though as I just bought another Churchill!!

Cheers
