Without Tradition

Firsthand accounts of the Second Battalion, Parachute Regiment, and its important role in Britain’s war effort, with photos included.
 
2 Para’s performance during Operation Market Garden is legendary—but, as this book amply demonstrates, it was the culmination of three years of battle experience. A major factor behind the battalion’s successes was the leadership of its commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel John D. Frost, who never failed to inspire those under him by his example and character.
 
Without Tradition is a superb record of, and a fitting tribute to, one of the most successful fighting units in the long and glorious history of the British Army.
