ABOUT THE AUTHOR

James Holland is an acclaimed historian and has been studying and writing about the Second World War for the past ten years. As a fan of historical fiction – and that includes Commando comics – it struck him that there was no Hornblower or Sharpe of the Second World War and so he decided to write about such a man himself. So Jack Tanner was born, and with him the excuse to research parts of the world in which the war left its mark, whether it be the fjords and mountains of Norway, or the olive groves and iridescent Mediterranean Sea of Crete. It also gave him the opportunity to learn all there is to know about tanks and guns and the life of the Second World War Tommy.

James lives in the beautiful Chalke Valley near Salisbury in Wiltshire, with his wife, son, daughter, dog and chickens, and where he plays as much cricket as he possibly can.
