Britain: the the Last Bastion of Civilization in Europe
Fabulous Lynn Olson has done it again. The author of "Citizens of London" has created another spellbinding WW II account of how tiny England helped save the continent. In "Last Hope Island" Olson deftly captures the spine-tingling moments of the invasions of Norway and Denmark, the Blitzkrieg into the Netherlands and invasion of France. The leaders of those conquered countries ultimately found refuge in England and a place to plot their resurgence later in the war.
