Epic stories of heroism and bravery in the Second World War. The Second World War is the most important conflict in the history of the world, but we are still unaware of the exploits of many of the men and women whose bravery and heroism helped to change history. Thanks to in-depth research, Pere Cardona has unearthed the untold stories of true unsung heroes, such as Manuel Espallargas, the Spanish Republican who fought at Narvik, Hitler's first major defeat. On the opposing side, we meet Günter Halm, the extraordinary artilleryman of the Afrikakorps who fought with honor under Rommel. We will also travel in the cockpit of the Dambusters, the pilots who destroyed the Ruhr dams to crush German arms production. We will fight in the Battle of the Bulge alongside Gerry Rossignol, the American tanker whose contribution was crucial to the Allied victory. And we will accompany nurse Helen Gray, whose dedication beyond the call of duty saved countless lives on and off the battlefield. These, and many other fascinating stories, await the reader in The World at War.
