Our War by Christopher Somerville
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 went missing.
"Christopher Sommerville reminds us in Our War.. with pictures and eyewitness stories, has been reissued to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the war." SOLDIER MAGAZINE
Christopher Somerville is a well known journalist and broadcaster, and a prolific author. He comes from a naval background: his grandfather was wartime leader Admiral of the Fleet Sir James Somerville, and both his parents served with the Royal Navy during the Second World War.
