The Unknown Warriors, by Nicholas Pringle This book is a great read. It is a collection of letters from veterans of the World War 2, telling thier story. These brave men and women are the reason that we have the freedom that we have today, the freedom that we all take for granted. This book is a unique opportunity to hear the personal memories of some amazing people who have lived through some of the most amazing yet heartbreaking times of our country. Nicholas Pringle has done a great job with this book. It is a terrific read! --armywivesunited.co.uk

This review is from: The Unknown Warriors (Paperback)
At my age (82) this book echos my sentiments exactly, especially regarding what the politicians and PC Brigade have done to Britain after WW2. Lost the Empire, lost all control of crime, reduced moral standards to almost zero, introduced a new religion, i.e. CELEBRITY WORSHIP .......... I could go on .........

Get it before it gets banned !,

This review is from: The Unknown Warriors (Paperback)
This book is a fascinating yet very sad read. It tells the tale of a betrayed generation . Many who payed the ultimate price with their lives and the survivers who are dissillusioned with their present country because present Britain isn't what they fought and died for.
It gives a fascinating insight of `old ` Britain and the the reasons why so many went off to war to defend her. Fascinating , sometimes humourous, sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes damn right shocking some of the wartime experiences this tough generation had. This book is unique in the sence that it addresses the feelings of this generation now rather that the the yearly Rememberance programs that remind us to remember what this generation did for us. Remember them we are told. Listen to their war time stories but lets not listen to what they have to say about life now ! At last, this book has given these people a voice. It will shock you to discover how many of these people are of the same mind. This isn't just a few letters of grumpy old men and women , this is an entire generation ! There was obviously so much anger and frustration waiting to come out that the letters here have totaly done away with political correctness and just tell it how it is. The composer of this book has been very brave and has not eddited the letters and has printed them in their entirity. Many have glady submitted their names to their letters but many have requested that their names remain annonymous through fear of attacks from the communities they now live in. It is a sad country we live in where where we are told that we have freedome of speach, yet it is obvious that it depends what the topic is about whether we will be allowed to express it. The truth is the truth, whether we like it or not. And the people in this book are speaking from the heart, having been there and lived through it and seen their friends die and seen their country they fought for change beyond recognition. These people deserve to have a voice and it is our duty to listen to them. After all , they fought for this country , we didn't and we owe them. Buy this book in it's current form while you still can. I forsee that it will possibly become banned, censored and forcibly edited in the future. All the comments on the peoples current thoughts on their country will be removed and it will just end up being a collection of war time stories.

The truth hurts,
By Black Douglas (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unknown Warriors (Paperback)
I think it's a great idea to give the heroes of world war 2 a platform to air their views on modern Britain, after all they more than deserve it. I wasn't surprised by the politically incorrect views, as my grandad held the same opinion on many of the subjects, although I was saddened to find alot of these veterans feel disconnected or cut off from Britain today.They are angry about multi-culturism , Homosexuals,muslims and immigration ,some of the stuff our political elites tell us what they were fighting Hitler for.The veterans state their opinions eloquently and I feel most people in Britain are fed up of the lefties and their P.C agenda because their trendy ways are getting very old.
