Description
A radical blend of history, memoir and biography that challenges traditional narratives of the Second World War. This book offers a nuanced portrait of the men who served during this period, revealing their complexities and humanity. The author's personal fascination with the war is woven throughout the narrative, as he explores the often-erased aspects of masculinity and sexuality in military contexts. A diverse cast of characters, including those from his own family, brings the conflict to life, shedding light on conscientious objectors, soldiers who survived Japanese POW camps, and others who fought for survival. As the last veterans leave us, it's essential to gain a true understanding of this rich history, and this book provides a fresh perspective on the men who shaped the war.
