LAST HOPE ISLAND:BRITAIN, OCCUPIED EUROPE AND THE BROTHERHOOD THAT HELPED TURNED THE TIDE OF THE WAR BY LYNN OLSON

BRAVO! EXCELLENT!  A totally, will never forget book!  LAST HOPE ISLAND:BRITAIN, OCCUPIED EUROPE AND THE BROTHERHOOD THAT HELPED TURNED THE TIDE OF THE WAR BY LYNN OLSON, is an in depth non fiction of how the occupied countries leaders & citizens came together on the British shores to fight the Nazi's.  You get to meet, not only the famous, like Charles De Gaulle & Queen Wilhelmina but the not so famous, people like Andree de John who with her group of French people, took it upon themselves to bring Allied fighters out of German territory.  Like Jeanne Rousseau, the blond twenty four year old with a photographic memory who while flirting with German generals learned all they knew & passed it on to the Allies.  These people and thousands more, some just faceless but  fearless people risked their lives to fight Hitler and the Nazi's . 

I could not stop reading this book.  The people were brought alive right there in the pages.  The time, the history, the mistakes & bungles & the people who made history are right in this book.  The book is presented so you are not just reading dry facts, you are living the lives and the history of the people, places & events happening .  A great book!  If you are a history lover or WWII buff or just want a great non fiction book that takes a reader right into the heart of WWII you will love this book.

I recieved this book free from goodreads in exchange for an honest review.
