Rifleman - New edition: A Frontline Life from the Battles of Alamein and Arnhem to the Bombing of Dresden (Paperback)

Searingly honest in his appraisal of what that conflict did to the world, on society and, above all, on himself -- DAN SNOW
Quite simply, it is one of the best first-hand accounts that I have read ... This gripping book immediately joins a select band of the best soldiers' stories told from the sharp end * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
Hugely entertaining and often moving ... As action-packed as any fiction, and yet this is no novel - Gregg's adventures were real. His is truly an astonishing story -- JAMES HOLLAND
One of the most shocking accounts of warfare you will ever read ... An account of heartache, violence and cunning by a man whose will to survive and unbreakable optimism are a true inspiration * INDEPENDENT *
A thrilling story of a young man in extraordinary circumstances ... Rifleman is an outstanding book that deserves to become a classic -- LLOYD CLARK
Fascinating ... a gut-wrenching read * SUN *
Evocative, detailed and unsentimental - gets us wonderfully close-up -- DAVID KYNASTON
His coldly factual account of the torments of its burned-to-death victims exceeds in power even Kurt Vonnegut's famous fictional account, Slaughterhouse Five ... Warrior Gregg has seen and experienced the stuff of nightmares, but remains a chirpy optimist in his 90s * DAILY MIRROR *
Intensely moving * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
It reads like the best fiction * SAGA *
Vic's honesty and warmth shine through this engaging story * CHOICE *
Completely fascinating. This feels like one of the last voices of a vital generation. For the first-hand account of the Dresden fire-bombing alone, this is gripping reading. It has an immediate power throughout that makes war fiction a pale shadow of the real thing -- CONN IGGULDEN
