Omschrijving

From the mud of France to the burning sands of North Africa, one man's war is fought not just in steel, but in spirit.

Sergeant Peter Brown is a tanker — a soldier of iron and resolve — who lands in France in 1939 with the British Expeditionary Force. In his Matilda II, he faces the chaos of the German Blitzkrieg, the desperate stand at Arras, and the haunting retreat to Dunkirk. Amid fire and ruin, Brown learns that survival demands more than armour — it demands sacrifice.

But war does not end in the Channel's waters. Redeployed to the searing deserts of Libya and Egypt, Brown and the remnants of his old crew fight on against Rommel's relentless Afrika Korps. Through the choking heat and shifting dunes, in machines that break as often as they save, the men of the desert war forge a brotherhood born of courage and loss.

When the new Grant tanks arrive, heavier and deadlier, Brown leads a fresh crew into the battles that will decide the fate of North Africa — Gazala, Alam Halfa, and El Alamein. Yet even as victory looms, he knows that no machine can shield the heart from what war demands.

Told through Brown's eyes with stark realism and deep humanity, Beneath the Armour is a sweeping, emotive journey through the great tank battles of the Second World War — where duty, friendship, and the ghosts of fallen comrades weigh heavier than any steel.
