Book description

Wars and Shadows
is one of the last notable memoirs of the great conflict in the middle
of the last century. It evokes the lives and characters of many of those
who fought - and, often, lost their lives - vividly and tenderly. Like
the very best memoirs, as well as entertaining us, it also allows us to
reflect on how we might have reacted in similar circumstances to those
the author faced, and whether eventually we might be able to give an
account even half so satisfying as this of our own lives and
times.>
