Many years after becoming the youngest person ever to be awarded the VC for attacking acompany of Panzer Grenadiers on his own -- an action that proved a turning point in one of the major battles of the Second World War -- John Kenneally made an extraordinary confession. The courageous hero of the Irish Guards, who had taken on a whole company single-handed was not, in fact, John Kenneally at all, but Leslie Jackson, the illegitimate son of Neville Blond and Gertrude Robinson (a 'high-class whore'), who had deserted his former regiment, the Honourable Artillery Company. In THE HONOUR AND THE SHAME, he tells his story with great verve and frankness -- a story of riotous living, great courage on the front line, and intense loyalties. Full of the escapades of battle -- from the triumphant Tunisian campaign to the bloodbath of Anzio -- and the many adventures of a freewheeling youth,THE HONOUR AND THE SHAMEis a vivid portrait of a fascinating man.
