Reading our history, particularly in times like these, is always interesting. I’ve read this book before and found it hard going, but this time round I found it hard to read for a different reason. War is not pretty. And the suffering that was endured was horrific.
By no means a short book but the events of D-Day are well told. I’m no historian but I learnt much from these pages. Would definitely recommend it. Things like these shouldn’t be forgotten and acts of bravery and endurance of suffering didn’t stop there. Just as we need to remember what happened 80ish years ago, so we the events of today will also be recorded with their acts of bravery and suffering.
Maybe not the most uplifting book to read at this time, but maybe it would be inspiring. And it’s probably long enough to see you through until this is over.
