À propos de la quatrième de couverture
"The noise of the explosions died slowly, as though the sound was moving heavily through the draws and along the ridges to collect in other places."
Irwin Shaw, The Young Lions
Authentic and impassioned stories of heroism and brutality, starvation and survival, defeats and triumphs from World War Two's most poignant hours. Gripping highlights from the greatest war novels include James Jones' From Here to Eternity, Evelyn Waugh's Officers and Gentlemen, and Joseph Heller's Catch 22. Compelling true-life accounts from around the world include the Battle of Britain from Guy Gibson, VC, the exploits of the French Resistance from Australian Nancy Wake, and a riveting report of Hiroshima by John Hersey.
