Vivid veteran testimonies illuminate perilous air raids, daring rescues, and extraordinary wartime logistics.
Have you ever wondered... What it would be like to fly in a bombing raid involving more than l,000 aircraft? If you would risk your own life to save the life of a horse following enemy attacks? What it felt like to parachute to the ground from more than 10,000 feet in the air? What some of the most unusual cargo transported by sailors in the Merchant Navy might be? Their Second World War contains the answers to these questions, and many more. They're revealed through true testimonies from veterans themselves, given directly to the author, as well as the letters and diaries belonging to family members who are determined not to let their loved one's stories be forgotten.
