The end of the Second World War retains its unique place in the public consciousness.
Drawn from the diaries and memoirs of soldiers and observers from every theatre of war and from every nation who was involved this great book gives an enthralling panoramic view of a world at war. Churchilll walks in the garden of No.10 Downing Street, SOE agents parachute into Occupied Europe, sailors lie trapped in a submarine, resistance fighters hide in the sewers of the Warsaw Ghetto, Goebbles writes his diary on the night of the Russian invasion. Those who were there tell us what it was really like to invade Okinawa, to endure the Blitz or to suffer at Auschwitz.
Their voices are many and of numerous nationalities ranging from the supreme leaders and the military commanders who planned the war's progress to those playing their part on the Home Front.
