St. Valery by Bill Innes
Examines the fateful chain of events in 1940, and reassesses some of the myths that arose in the intervening years. This book includes accounts that present the chaos and horror of war and the grim deprivation of the camps and forced marches which so many endured. It contains stories that resound with the spirit, humour and sense of comradeship.'A wonderful memorial to those who did not return'
-- Saul David * BBC History Magazine *'Bill Innes's work and the stories his protagonists have to tell are remarkable, both in their content and in their sheer quality of writing'
