This is one of the few books that gives you some sort of detailed information about the British paratroopers in WWII. Like some other books the book explaines how the units were raised and which operations they were involved in. But this book goes a little bit further. It explains in detail also the weapons they are using, the uniforms and badges worn and the order of batlle during the several operations. Each subject is supported by numerous photographs maps and drawings. In the range of small compact books on the subject of the British Airborne Troops during WWII, this book is the absolute best.
From the New York Times bestselling author of City of Light comes a compelling, richly detailed tale of passion and intrigue set in New York City during the tumultuous early days of World War II.
The Moon Is Down, a propaganda novella sponsored by the OSS and written by John Steinbeck, and for which he received a medal of honor, was published by Viking Press in March 1942. The story details a military occupation of a small town in Northern Europe by the army of an unnamed nation at war with England and Russia (much like the occupation of Norway by the Germans during World War II). A French language translation of the book was published illegally in Nazi-occupied France by Les Editions de Minuit, a French Resistance publishing house.
