Peter Elstob

Peter Elstob (1915-2002) was a British soldier, actor and author who drew on his wartime experiences to write some of the most vivid and authentic Second World War fiction ever produced. He served as a tank commander during the war, and his firsthand knowledge of armoured warfare gives his writing an immediacy and realism that few other war novelists can match. Elstob also wrote acclaimed military history, combining personal experience with scholarly research. His books and audiobooks offer readers and listeners gripping, authentic accounts of what it was like to fight in one of history's most devastating conflicts.
