Publisher's summary

The crescendo of war, a crushing blow, a path to redemption....

Peacetime political machinations threaten Kelly Maguire's ambitions to be a captain. But then war breaks out, and the world needs men who are willing to risk everything.

As World War II explodes, and after a devastating loss in the Battle of Narvik, Maguire finds himself washed up at Dunkirk during the evacuation of 1940. Once more he must prove his worth.

On the ocean and the beaches, Kelly will fight for his country and for the ones he loves. But, on the verge of true greatness after the Normandy landings, he is tasked with one final mission, one that could end his career....

Back to Battle is an earth-shattering novel set at the heart of the bloodiest war ever fought.

Recommend this book

Very descriptive book. I felt like I was there the way the story was told. I loved the history, the story and the characters and also thought the narrator did a great job. I wish that there were more than three books in this series and also hope that more of Max Hennessy/ John Harris books will show up on Audible
