The books follow two families through the lead up to and through World War Two. Aside from a handful of fictional characters, the battled as they have been described are faithful to how they actually happened. I don't believe I am spoiling anything in my description below:Īs someone who likes historical fiction, these books are very good, and meticulously researched.
