2. 2. Paris '44

   

   A detailed narrative of the events surrounding the liberation of Paris in August 1944, blending operational military history with on-the-ground accounts of Resistance fighters, civilians and Allied soldiers. It traces the build-up to the uprising, the tactical advances of French and American units, the negotiations and confrontations with the retreating German garrison, and the tense political struggle—particularly Charles de Gaulle’s determination to restore French authority—that shaped the city’s immediate aftermath. Drawing on eyewitness testimony and archival material, the book captures both the chaos and the jubilation of Paris’s return to freedom and examines how the liberation shaped France’s postwar identity.

3. 3. Fighter Boys

   Saving Britain 1940

   

   A vivid, human-centered account of the young RAF fighter pilots who defended Britain in 1940, blending first-hand testimony, operational detail and archival photographs to portray their training, daily routines and the terror and exhilaration of aerial combat in Hurricanes and Spitfires as they faced the Luftwaffe; the book captures individual acts of courage, the heavy toll of loss, and the tense, chaotic struggle that helped decide the course of the war.
