Twenty Lives at War: World War II Europe
Book Six of The Twenty Lives at War Series
World War II Europe: 20 Short Stories of Courage, Rebellion, and Homefront Hope
Book Six of the Twenty Lives at War Series gathers twenty stand-alone stories that trace the conflict across a continent, told through ordinary people caught in extraordinary pressure. A teenage courier races through bomb-shattered Warsaw; an American volunteer pilot fights before his country does; a London mother builds community underground. From siege hunger in Leningrad to coerced choices in occupied streets, from resistance microfilm and battlefield triage to D-Day confusion and hedgerow warfare, sabotage on Dutch rails, winter captivity, and the final days at sea, each life is intimate and unforgettable. Threaded through them are paper and records, maps and terrain, and the cost of obedience. Read in any order, they form one panoramic arc—showing how war ends on paper before it ends in people.
