WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY AL MURRAY

'This is a novel, although the battle and many of the incidents described in the book are true.' ZENO

Unless you have experienced war, it is impossible to imagine its grim reality. But The Cauldron does just that - unsparingly, painfully, brilliantly - because it is written by someone who was there.

Like never before, this is what it must have been like for the men parachuted into the cauldron. It has the smell, the taste, the fear of war - the terrifying sense of kill or be killed, and the horror of watching your friends die in front of you...
