About this listen

Battlefields is what every Richard Holmes fan has been waiting for. Richard Holmes skilfully clarifies the complexities of four major World War II military campaigns: El Alamein, Italy, Arnhem, and the Battle of Britain (the Main Offensive). In this fascinating and brilliantly articulated study of war, he recreates what it was really like to be in the midst of bloody conflict from letters, diaries, and interviews with soldiers awarded campaign medals for their heroism during World War II.

The best historian

Holmes (sadly no longer with us) delivers the listener with a greater understanding of key moments in warfare. I was lucky enough to meet him and he never stopped telling you about history. Both old history and it’s effect on newer history and on current affairs. A great man sadly missed.

Holmes at his best

Enjoyed it very much. Wish it had been longer and covered the war at sea.
