WAAF, and Polish and Czech air squadrons. There are many pilot profiles, and of course a huge number of pictures.

as a highly trained infantry assault unit. Taking part in the Normandy Landings and protecting the beachhead's left flank for 82 days it endured over 50 percent
casualties.

Glass, Charles. The Deserters: A Hidden History of World War II. Far from the bright picture found in propaganda and nostalgia, the Second World War
was a grim and brutal affair, much of which has never been fully reported. This is a dramatic and heartbreaking look at men overlooked by their commanders and
ignored by history, men who struggled and were pushed to breaking point. Deals with British and American soldiers only. B/w photos.

Guard, Harold. The Pacific War Uncensored: A War Correspondent's Unvarnished Account of the Fight Against Japan. After he was invalided out of the
British Navy he became a war correspondent working for United Press. He was in Singapore when the Japanese invaded, went down to Java and finally to
Australia, where he was fed and treated very handsomely. He had many more adventures in the war - he flew on U.S. bombing missions, camped with soldiers in
New Guinea and on his return to Britain controversially highlighted the deficiencies in the British defence of Singapore.

Formidably researched in England and Germany, and with raid veterans in New Zealand and Canada, this covers the pre-war and war time plans for economic
warfare against Germany and the long road to the Chastise raid, Barnes Wallis and all his wartime weapons, the men, including Guy Gibson, and the raid, and the
true damage, cost, and legacy of the raid. A great read.

Holland, Malcolm A. Sweatin' Out the Mission: 8th Airforce Ground Support in World War Two. For every bomber crew of 10 crew members it took at
least another 30 men on the ground to get it into and keep it in the air. Additional staff were needed to operate the British airfields used by USAAF. After the war
these people melted back into civilian life, receiving little recognition for their efforts. This book celebrates them.

Jones, Guy Pearce. Two Survived: The Timeless WWII Epic of Seventy Days at Sea in an Open Boat. When their ship was torpedoed by a Nazi raider,
seven men escaped in an open boat. Only two survived the 70 day ordeal at sea before they finally washed up over 2000 miles away, across the other side of the
Atlantic. Their day by day account of how they made it, is a riveting page-turner.

Langlet, Valdemar. Reign of Terror: The Budapest Memoirs of Valdemar Langlet 1944-1945. He saved thousands of Jews in Budapest in the last two
years of WWII, almost without any official authority or support from his own country. He was Swedish but had lived for many years in Hungary, where he worked
for the Red Cross. He was able to issue 'Letters of Protection', passport like documents with official-looking stamps that frequently saved Jews from deportation to
the death camps.

Longerich, Peter. Holocaust: The Nazi Persecution and Murder of the Jews. An academic history of the Holocaust that focuses on the decision-making
of the Nazis. Longerich contends that the Holocaust developed not from a single high command, but rather had a multitude of drivers and developed a life of its
own as orders from the top would be mediated and interpreted by local commanders and adapted to conditions on the ground. This is a monumental account of a
crime of unimaginable dimensions.
