Thanks Rob. I must confess that I had seen it and believed Phil would have delivered a good narrative but, until I read your review, it wasn’t on my shopping list. I just assumed it was another book covering just the ‘big events’ of 1945. As it looks as though it does cover the SEAC area and with a different emphasis on individuals’ stories, I think it’s gone to the top of the list.

It’s an unusual approach, but one that works, for me at least.
