This is the 3rd in a series of 4 books full of short stories about
Britain's involvement in the 2nd World War. Many of the stories
uncover what war was really like and not what is often portrayed in
modern day chronicles. There was nothing wonderful and magnificent
about war, it was, and still is, violent, brutal and inhuman, and
those that took part in the fighting sometimes took on animal
characteristics to survive. Death stalked the battlefield in many
forms and survival was mostly pure luck rather than natural skill.
Those that survived nearly 6 years of fighting were never the same
again as they had hardened by all the killing. I have selected
stories that begin just before war was declared, and initially
cover the disgrace that ended in Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain,
and the Blitz. There after they delve into the sea war on the
Atlantic and Russian convoys, then the Desert campaign, Greece,
Crete, Morocco, Tunisia, and Italy. There are also tales about the
terrible war against Japan, a country that was so cruel and inhuman
towards innocent civilians as well as POW's that it is difficult to
come to terms with the reasons behind what they arbitrarily did.
Finally, we have the Allied landings at Normandie and the titanic
fight through Europe and into Germany. Something the Allies didn't
expect.
