| Description | Alan Whicker has been a broadcaster for over 40 years on both BBC and independent channels. This is an insightful, articulate and moving account of his experiences in World War 2 and is based on the successful Channel 4 series. Throughout his forty years in TV he was steadfast in his belief that his programmes should not be about himself but about those people he encountered. Until this year when he was persuaded, as part of the 60th anniversary of the invasion of Italy, to tell his remarkable war experiences in two fabulously reviewed hour-long television pieces. This book uses these programmes as the starting point to tell the story of Alan Whicker's remarkable war. Alan Whicker joined the Army Film and Photo Unit as an 18-year-old army officer, following the Allied advance through Italy, from Sicily to Venice. He filmed the troops on the front line, met Montgomery, and other military luminaries, filmed the battered body of Mussolini after his execution and accepted the surrender of the SS in Milan. This is remarkable account of the Italian campaign of 1943 and 1944 as he retraces of his steps over sixty years later. by one of the 20th centuries greatest TV journalists. | | Release Date | 2005 | | Author | Alan Whicker | | Format | Dimensions 15.2x24.0 cm
