The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

Al Murray’s passion for military history, and the Second World War in particular, has always been a duel passion with his comedy. It was brought to the fore with several acclaimed and award-winning television shows and the success of his podcast ‘We Have Ways of Making You Talk’ which he hosts alongside James Holland. The podcast has built up a loyal, nationwide fanbase and has given birth to its own annual three-day festival. In his first serious narrative book, ‘Command’ showcases Al Murray’s passion for this pivotal period in the 20th century, as he writes an engaging, entertaining and sharp analysis of the key allied military leaders in the conflict.
