Where Stands A Winged Sentry, taken from the author's war diaries, conveys the tension, frustration and bewilderment of the progression of the Second World War, and the terror of knowing that the worst is to come, but not yet knowing what the worst will be.
'This is a journal of the tense months between Dunkirk and the start of the Blitz - months when a German invasion of Britain seemed both imminent and inevitable. It's written with a steady intensity; raw worry pokes through the elegant prose, and though there are many vivid details, and moments of wit and levity, this is also an extraordinary meditation of what it means to be free in a world of encroaching tyranny.' - Lissa Evans, author of Old Baggage, V For Victory
