![]() ![]() This book taught me a lot about transportation in World War 2, and that the British soldiers refused to bring animal corps to war, and then suffered the consequence during winter, failing to bring the needed supplies to the front line. Now or Never provided a great amount of detail of life during World War II from a soldier’s perspective. I would recommend this book for other readers as it is extremely well written. It made me wonder why those soldiers had come all the way from India to fight in Europe, where they could potentially die, for a country that had brutally occupied them for decades. The main character was always getting shot at, bombed, or shelled. I think the book was serious and thought provoking. Indian soldiers came to Europe to fight in World War 2, which is something interesting I didn’t know before reading this book. ![]() ![]() I enjoyed this book because of the huge amounts of description about the terrain, the main characters’ feelings, and their use of language, dialogue and accents. The plot was serious and exciting, making the book enjoyable to read and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about an unheard aspect of British history. It was interesting to see how people of this time period acted differently to now, and it definitely inspired me to learn more about this part of history. My favourite character was Captain John Ashdown as he put the needs of his unit before his own and was very heroic. I found this book very interesting as I learnt about the Royal Indian Army Service Corps and their role in WW2, which I did not know about before reading. ![]()
