The Magic Army by Leslie Thomas
New Year's Eve 1943 - the tiny village of Slapton is told that it has to be evacuated. American troops are occupying the wide district of South Devon. The Americans are prepared for animosity, but not for the harsh conditions the war in Europe has imposed upon the civilian population of England.
It's bawdy, funny, sad and sometimes sorry and it brought those times vividly back * Daily Mail *
