Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best
Having read many books interviewing WW2 veterans this is possibly the best.
Its difficult sometimes for the author to distance him/herself from the subject and not in some small way project themselves into the stories. Mr Holland must be congratulated as he re-tells these amazing tales of everyday people in extraordinary circumstances in a way that makes you feel you are hearing this from the heroes themselves.
Great Book, couldnt put it down.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant...
As the review previous to this one suggests, this isn't just about war, but about those everyday people who did extra ordinary things, most didn't even realise what they had actually done. Now a number of them feel it's the right time to pass on their life stories so that they are never forgotten.

It makes you think if the same would happen again today if people were put into the same situation. I think not with the how selfish and self centred people have become. Who knows...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ordinary people, extraordinary lives
This is undoubtedly the most readable book about the exploits of individuals in wartime that i have read. Each hero has a completly different story to tell ,but all show how so-called ordinary people can acheive extraordinary things and live through extreme hardship and emotional trauma whilst maintaining their humility and humanity.
This is not really a book about war, this is a book about amazing people and as such can be enjoyed by anyone.
Would make a good christmas present!
