Product Description

Review

"Christopher Sommerville reminds us in Our War... with pictures and eyewitness stories, has been reissued to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the war." (SOLDIER MAGAZINE )

Product Description

Christopher Somerville skillfully links the voices, guiding them into covering such topics as racial prejudice, attitudes to Britain before and after the war, why Commonwealth citizens even volunteered and the inevitable disillusionment by 1945. The result is a rare and faithful memoir to the five million Commonwealth citizens who fought for the Allies and the 170,000 who died or went missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling account of the Commonwealth's war, 15 July 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Our War: British Commonwealth and the Second World War (Hardcover)
Most accounts of the Second World War written in English focus on the American or British forces. This superb volume looks at the conflict through the eyes of commonwealth servicemen and women from both the white settler countries and the 'new' Commonwealth. The author's research is exhaustive and his writing is engaging. His account of racism in the South African forces is educative.
