The Battle of Dieppe was a costly operation for the Allies. Of the approximately 6,000 men who took part in the raid, over 3,600 were killed, wounded, or captured. The Canadians, in particular, suffered heavy casualties, with many taken prisoner. Despite the high cost of lives and equipment, the Dieppe raid provided valuable lessons for the Allies. They realized the importance of better planning, coordination, and intelligence gathering for future amphibious operations. These lessons were applied in planning the successful D-Day landings in Normandy in 1944. There are so many sad stories during World War 2, and this, my friend, is only one of them.

The danger of participating in live-fire exercises and a Christmas spent in a military prison are described in detail in this graphic picture of military life at the height of the Cold War. "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an ’iron curtain’ has descended across the continent." These words, uttered by Winston Churchill in 1946, heralded the beginning of the Cold War. In this first-hand account of a NATO soldier, Terry Stoney Burke paints a graphic picture of military life at the height of the Cold War. From the trials and tribulations of basic training, through his progress of becoming an infantryman and explosive specialist, to his posting in Germany, his pull no punches narrative tells the sometimes humorous, often poignant, story of life as a common soldier. Cold War Soldieris not a book for veterans alone. Burkes explanations of military procedures, weapons, and army life strike a happy balance between reminding ex-servicemen of things they knew but may have forgotten, and creating a clear picture for the military novice.
