Zusammenfassung

This is a moving testimony from veterans from all over the Commonwealth who fought for Britain in World War II. Their stories, by turns comical, horrendous and disturbing, all show the extraordinary bravery of men and women who were, in fact, very ordinary.

Our War by Christopher Somerville

Veteran voices from the Commonwealth tell for the first time how the Second World War changed their lives irreversibly and blew the British Empire apart. Christopher Somerville skillfully links the voices, guiding them into covering such topics as racial prejudice, attitudes to Britain before and after the war, why Commonwealth citizens even volunteered and the inevitable disillusionment by 1945. 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 wen t missing.
