Description
Fury's Child by Geoffrey Abrahams is a personal memoir that explores the author's experiences during National Service in the RAF. Born in 1933 to Romanian and Russian parents, Abrahams recounts his time in the military, drawing from stories shared with him as he grew up. The book was compiled from notes and memories passed down through the family, including those of Abrahams' mother, who typed out the manuscript on an old portable typewriter. The story is set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in history, as the formation of Israel had a profound impact on Abrahams' life. This memoir offers a unique insight into one man's experiences during a pivotal moment in British history, and serves as a tribute to the author's parents, who were killed during the creation of Israel.
