Tim Clayton and Phil Craig met at St Catharine's College, Cambridge in 1978. In the years that followed they shared a growing fascination with the Second World War. This book grew out of fifteen years of research on the subject.
Review
A wonderful oral history of Great Britain during the Dunkirk evacuation and the Battle of Britain in the tradition of Stephan Ambrose; recommended for all collections. * US Library Journal * From fighter-pilots risking their lives in the skies above England, to squaddies stranded at Dunkirk, to schoolgirls sent abroad to Canada (the book is worth buying just for Bess Walder's account of horror and redemption aboard the City of Benares), this is riveting. * Sunday Express * Manages to construct the tale in such a way that it breaks free of the text-book approach ... Compiled with a pace that could put a lot of thrillers to shame. * Time Out * Compelling ... Mesmerizing stuff. * Sunday Telegraph * Beautifully made ... Achingly vivid. * Guardian * Brilliant ... This highly informative, moving series should form part of the National Curriculum. * Daily Mail *
