By May 1945, much of Western Europe lay in ruins - but what's become of the battlefields now? Or the people who lived on them?

Sixty years on, award-winning travel writer John Gimlette , begins an astonishing journey into the past. Starting in Marseilles and ending in the Austrian Tyrol, he travels through some of the world's most spectacular landscapes, and through cities that have risen from cinders. Guiding the way is a rich cast of survivors: veterans, prisoners, heroines and the children of the blitz. It's a story often as bleak and absurd as war itself.

But it's also a tale of friendship, and regeneration. Gimlette is joined by an American, Putnam Flint, who'd fought with the tank destroyers (Panthers) and had ridden along with a great wheeled city of almost 3 million men. Ever since, he's been haunted by the memories of that tank-mangled sludge (the Panther Soup). Now, for the first time, he returns.

Soft cover, fairly good condition. The cover shows minor signs of wear. Slight foxing.
