Never heard before real stories of soldiers who fought in WW2
'Extraordinary ...If they had not made our war their war also,
victory might not have come in 1945' DAILY TELEGRAPH In this
powerful and moving narrative, Christopher Somerville skilfully
links personal testimonies to present an epic which embraces comedy
and tragedy, pride and degradation, close comradeship and stark
racial prejudice, devotion to the benign Mother Country and a
burning desire to see the back of her. Many of the veterans had
never previously talked of their experiences, even to close loved
ones. They cover such topics as attitudes to Britain before and
after the war, why Commonwealth citizens offered to fight, and how
some volunteers were inspired by their wartime service while others
were thoroughly disillusioned. The result is a rare and faithful
memoir to the five million Commonwealth citizens who fought for the
Allies and the 170,000 who died or went missing.
