Published to accompany the ITV drama-documentary of the same name, this book contains the complete diary of Alastair Bannerman, whose story is featured in the programme. Bannerman took part in the D-Day invasion of the 6 June 1944, and was taken prisoner-of-war and reported as 'missing in action'. His diary, an extended love-letter to his wife, was confiscated by the German army, and by a series of miraculous coincidences, returned to him in a German translation, many years after the war. This book, with a Foreword and Afterword by Alastair's 3 sons, contains that diary in its entirety, returned to its original language.
