O knihe
As the title shows, it has two main subjects: WWII and Potters Bar - which is my hometown, almost but not quite a suburb of London. The global public already has extensive knowledge of WWII, yet the same cannot be said of Potters Bar. Outside Britain, there are probably no more than a few thousand people who have even heard of it. But for me it was the hub of the universe as I grew up - passing through childhood, then adolescence, eventually teetering on the brink of adulthood. Not just battles and air-raids, victories and defeats - the hard stuff of war - all that's common knowledge. But - the things we did against that ever-present background. At home, at school, as we started out in jobs. Falling in love - and out of it! In short, the way we lived our everyday lives and yes, in spite of continuous tragic realities, the fun we had - tremendous fun at times. My memories are still extremely vivid - albeit many of them a child's eye view. Read all about it!
