Books by Lynne Olson

In May 1940, Britain was at war with Germany and Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister, struggling with a poorly prepared defence against Hitler. This book presents an account of how some troublesome young men risked political suicide and vilification as traitors, and paved the way for Winston Churchill to step in as Britain's saviour.

Members of the Polish Air Force fought through the defeat of their own country in 1939 and then alongside the French until the fall of France the following year, when they made their varied ways to Britain.
