An amazing collection of eyewitness accounts of the British experience in World War II. First-hand narratives are drawn from every rank of the army and every corner of the conflict to create a moving and illuminating story of the greatest war of this century.

‘To understand the New Zealand experience of war, this is the book to read’
-Evening Post

‘A book that keeps you coming back for more, Five Shillings makes up for those conversations we never seemed to have with those who came home…’
-North and South

‘This is a superb cohesive account of events which made history… Veterans will read it with relish, younger readers with awe at the incredible scale of the conflict…’
-The Star

‘For the general reader with an interest in the Second World War, I can think of no better starting point from which to grasp the huge scale of the war and yet its dimension in terms of the individual. For the specialist reader, there are countless personal insights.’
