This detailed biography brings to life one of the greatest military heroes of WWII—and demonstrates why his contributions were crucial to Allied victory. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay masterminded the evacuation of some 330,000 members of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk. He went on to play a crucial role in the invasion of Sicily and the planning and execution of the D-Day invasion, where he commanded the 7,000 ships that delivered Allied forces to the beaches of Normandy. All this from a man who had retired in 1938—only to be persuaded back to the service by Winston Churchill himself. In 1944, Ramsay was promoted to Admiral and appointed Naval Commander-in-Chief for the D-Day naval expeditionary force. A year later, he died in a mysterious air crash. Though Ramsay's legacy has been remembered by the Royal Navy, his key role in the Allied victory has been widely forgotten. Now biographer Brian Izzard corrects this oversight, arguing that without Ramsay the outcome of both Dunkirk and D-Day—and perhaps the entire war—could have been very different.
Turnbull, New York, is a working-class town full of weary people who struggle to make ends meet. In July 1983, eight-year-olds James, Dallas and Felix leave their homes to play in the woods, where they have to navigate between the potentially violent world of angry adults and angrier teens. Little do they know that by the end of the summer, one of them will lay dead, after a bit of 'playful' bullying from older teens escalates to tragedy. After the murder, the novels main characters must come to grips with the aftermath, face down the decisions they've made, and re-establish faith.
