Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Hardcover. In the summer of 1940 the British Isles stood isolated and alone facing the might of a seemingly unstoppable German war machine. Never before had the United Kingdom been in a state of such uncertainty and possible peril. Fortunately the full breadth of the English Channel held back Hitler's armies, and his ambition. Not so for the Channel Islands which stand just a few miles from the French coast. To abandon British territory to the enemy was unthinkable, yet the defence of the Channel Islands was impracticable, if not impossible. It was decided, therefore, to evacuate as many as wished to leave. This is the story of the muddled evacuation, of homes, animals and families left behind, of the German bombing of the islands, the fear of those left behind, and of those first days of German Occupation, told by the Islanders themselves through memoirs and letters, the local newspapers, and the politicians who decided the fate of tens of thousands of men women and children. SELLING POINTS: . An account of the German invasion of the Channel Islands in 1940 . Original eyewitness accounts and contemporary commentary . Details the agonising decision to demilitarise the islands and the subsequent German bombing 16pp b/w plates The ground-breaking Voices From the Past series tells the stories of the great conflicts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from the Battle of Waterloo to the fall of Hitler's Germany, through the words of the politicians, the press, the generals, and the ordinary soldier and civilian that lived and fought through those momentous times.
