The Daily Telegraph Second Book of Obituaries Heroes and Adventurers

From the front endpaper: “As The Economist noted: “All regular readers of obituaries will have their favourites, but for a large number the art must seem to reach its zenith in the 'Telegraph’s' obituaries of long-lived military figures, which combine a 'Boy’s Own' paper zest for a rattling good story with an exquisite precision in Army lore and vocabulary …” “Rich in humour and derring-do, this book embraces paladins from the Resistance and the Special Forces, as well as from the Army, the Royal Navy and the RAF. It will delight all who appreciate a rollicking yarn.”
