Battalions of The Black Watch took part in almost every theater and nearly every principal campaign of World War II. This history examines the activities of the Regiment in France, 1939-40; of The Highland Division in North Africa and Sicily, and in North-west Europe; of the Sixth Battalion in the Mediterranean, 1939-45; of the Second Battalion in the Middle East, 1939-42 and most famously in India and Burma; and of prisoners, individuals and Allied Regiments. The author was very well chosen to write this history since he himself fought with a Battalion of The Black Watch in North Africa, and made his name leading a Brigade in the most spectacular of all the Regiment's adventures, that of the Chindits in Burma in 1945. 23 maps.
