About the Author

The authors are generally accepted as having kick-started the modern interest in visiting the battlefields of the First and Second World Wars when they began their company 'Major and Mrs Holt's Battlefield Tours' in the 1970s. At that time they were the only company offering such tours.
Over the next 30 years their company conducted thousands of people around battlefields in places as far apart as South Africa, Viet Nam and the Falkland Islands.
In the 1990s they sold the company to concentrate upon writing guide books to the most visited battlefields of the First and Second World Wars - Normandy, Ypres and Passchendaele, the Somme, Arnhem and Gallipoli.
In these books they distill the knowledge gained from detailed and continuing research, what they learned from those who travelled on their tours and the practicalities of travelling from A to B, to offer the reader unparalled guidance to the battlefields. They do not employ researchers - they go themselves to the places they write about and the books are updated regularly.
Indeed many of the tour guides who use these books themselves refer to them as 'the bibles'.
