Had it not been for the extraordinary bravery, dedication and
persistence of a relatively small number of young Allied combatants in
World War 2, most of Britain's present generation would not exist.
That applies to many Americans, and others, too. Embattled England
1925-1945: Memories of the Great Generation is a unique first-hand
account of Britain under attack by Nazi Germany, described quite
differently from any previous ones by the author who grew up in war-torn
England. It evokes a forgotten London that few knew, by an author who
survived the Battle of Britain and the Second World War. It also
describes the horrors of bombing sorties over enemy lines without any
protection from fighter planes, for which his older brothers volunteered
to hasten the war's end.
