London, United Kingdom: Cassell Reference, 2005. New book, 364 pages. Veteran voices from the Commonwealth tell how the Second World War changed their lives irreverisbly and blew the British Empire apart. Christopher Somerville skillfully links these personal testimonies to present an epic which embraces comedy and tragedy, pride and degredation, close comradeship and stark racial prejudice, devotion to the Mother Country, and a burning desire to see the back of her. They cover such topics as attitudes to Britain before and after the war, why Commonwealth citizens offered to fight, and how some volunteers were inspired by their service, while others were dissillusioned. The result is a faithful and unique memoir to the five million Commonwealth citizens who fought for the Allies and the 170,000 who died or went missing.. Trade Paperback.
