O knihe
The Second World War took ordinary men and women and made them perform under circumstances hopefully the majority of us will never have to endure. Albert was one such man. The story tells of his journey from the time he was called up in 1940, the excitement of seeing H.M.S. Hood, his experiences through North Africa, Crete and D.Day .
His being accused of killing someone in a brawl.
The thoughts he had following the order to abandon ship, how long would he survive in the cold sea, he could not swim? The loneliness.
His sadness at seeing refugees, the starving children he gave sweets to. The heat of the desert, the women from the brothels who prayed on the unfortunate desperate men.The reasons why he had nightmares become clear and also the fear he felt.
His marriage during the war, and how the faith in his wife helped him survive.
The anti climax and disregard shown to them all following the armistice, why did things get worse?
His letters are an insight into how he felt, and the loneliness he endured at times even though he was surrounded by men.
He gives the reason why he wrote the book.
It is a story hundreds of men could relate to, it is the story of an ordinary man. Of a sacrifice which should not be forgotten.
