This novel carries the reader on a journey of discovery one that was carried out by men from all walks of life and though differing in character and background forged bonds of friendship hard to find in normal everyday civilian life. Depicted are several of the many missions successfully carried out by a combined force of British military and European resistance fighters; there is also humour; romance and the tragedy of losing comrades who had become part of their everyday lives. Men and women of the European resistance movement who played an active and vital role in the provision of local knowledge and places of safety also relate their own horrific accounts of personal trauma suffered.
