One Day in a Very Long War

One Day in Every Long War by John Ellis, Pimlico, 1999

This text focuses on a single day during World War II when the Allied war machine was in top gear, but victory was far from a foreseeable reality. It describes a world-wide conflict from the viewpoint of those who took part on all fronts in both Allied and Axis forces. John Ellis was born in Bradford and educated at the Universities of Sussex and Manchester. He was a lecturer in the latter's department of Military Studies.

His books include The Sharps End: The Fighting Man in World War II; The Social History of the Machine Gun (both available in Pimlico); Eye-Deep in Hell, an account of trench life in the Great War; Cassino: The Hollow Victory; and Brute Force: Allied Strategy and Tactics in the Second World War.
