Description

Operation Heartbreak A Story by Duff Cooper (Viscount Norwich) is a poignant and understated novel about war. The central tragedy of Willie Maryngton's life was that he was too young to fight in the First World War and too old for the Second. Willie had always wanted to be part of the action, but fate had other plans. He found himself left behind while his brother officers went off to fight, a situation that weighed heavily on his mind. Despite this, Willie plays a vital role in the Allies' eventual victory in one of the war's most famous incidents. This novel is notable for its economy and perfect timing, making it a standout among short novels about war. With its quiet, domestic, and poignant tone, Operation Heartbreak A Story is a powerful exploration of the human experience during wartime.
