Last Hope Island: Britain, Occupied Europe, and the Brotherhood That Helped Turn the Tide of War by Lynne Olson

5.0

This was the first longer treatment of the Second World War I'd read. I've come away with fresh understanding around it's events, new respect for brave individuals who sought to make the difference they could, and a deepened understanding of the forces that have sculpted Europe to the way it is today. It was enlightening to learn of Britain's long uneasy relationship with continental Europe - and saddening especially to learn of Britain's failure towards Poland. Overall I'm feeling inspired to learn more about this important period of history.
