Reviews for the World at War
"The World At War was one of the greatest television series of all time. It demonstrated the potential power of history on television and inspired a generation - it certainly inspired me to make series like Nazis and Auschwitz. It is tremendously exciting that the complete interviews with the participants from The World at War are now published here for the first time. Most of the people who were interviewed for the series are now dead, but their vital history - thanks to this book - still lives" - Laurence Rees, author of Auschwitz
"Holmes has a sharp, knowing eye for anecdote and detail" - Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
"What sets Richard Holmes apart is the sheer quality of his writing and his empathy with his subjects" - Independent

Clara's War - Clara Kramer
On 21 July 1942 the Nazis invaded Poland. In the small town of Zolkiew, life for Jewish 15-year-old Clara Kramer was never to be the same again. While those around her were either slaughtered or transported, Clara and her family hid perilously in a hand-dug cellar. Sixty years later, Clara Kramer has created a memoir that is lyrical, dramatic and heartbreakingly compelling. Despite the worst of circumstances, this is a story full of hope and survival, courage and love.
Forgotten Voices of the Secret War
An incredible account of a unique clandestine force and a fitting testament to the efforts and sacrifices of a dedicated group of courageous men and women.
"Roderick Bailey has skilfully braided their stories into a coherent narrative, and the quality of their egregious courage catches at the heart" - Spectator
