Review: A story long overdue, brilliantly told! - Just months before the 75th Anniversary of the allied landing at Normandy, so-called “D-Day”, I sit on my back patio and turn the last page on Sarah Rose’s book “D-Day Girls”. I am momentarily speechless. As I watch my grandchild playing in the grass, I am keenly aware of the freedoms he enjoys because of the sacrifices of my grandparent’s generation. How can he understand what life was like before that day? How can I? The answer is storytellers; historians. The answer is Sarah Rose. In her beautifully written book, “D-Day Girls: The Spies Who Armed the Resistance, Sabotaged the Nazis, and Helped Win World War II”, Sarah Rose takes us back to a time when the uncertainty about the outcome of World War II in Europe was of prime concern to every man and woman worldwide. To the observer of modern politics, it becomes easier to imagine the rise and spread of fascism that led to that historic day. To the military strategist, it brings home the reality of a world where space and satellite technology were not tools readily available to battle planners; where any question, large or small, could not be answered by Siri, or Alexa, or Google; any need not satisfied by a visit to desertcart. Where communication was slow, complicated, and at times imminently dangerous. Through detailed research and carefully chosen anecdotes, Rose brings to us a history long overdue for the telling. Others have written about the challenges of D-Day. What is so extraordinary about this book is that it brings to light the hitherto unappreciated, and ultimately necessary, role women played in those challenges. One is struck by how much has changed in our view of women in society and the military, and perhaps sadly, how much has not.
Review: The Brave amongst Us - I enjoyed this book a great deal. We were drawn in to the dangerous activities of the young women (SOE agents) scurrying here and there on their bicycles as couriers, whilst others sat in darkened rooms tapping out Morse code messages to HQ in London on their portable wirelesses - ever aware of the Gestapo roaming the streets of France, listening for these signals and ready to pounce. Once caught, few agents escaped unscathed. This is their story. A story of courage and determination to rid France of the German invasion and to be free once again. Enduring the torture and brutality of a concentration camp must surely have been hell itself and yet, many were able to overcome this evil. We can but salute them. The stated intention of Hitler that the Third Reich would reign for a thousand years should ring alarm bells for political parties worldwide, who are likewise convinced. It doesn't happen. A well researched book and a great read.
