Last Hope Island
Britain, Occupied Europe, and the Brotherhood That Helped Turn the Tide of War
Lynne Olson
Last Hope Island is the story of how Britain became a refuge to the exiled leaders of Europe in their fight against Hitler during World War II. This intriguing read highlights the courageous efforts of the people of occupied Europe and the expatriate leaders who did everything in their power to overcome the Nazi occupation. Learn about the role played by Polish pilots during the Battle of Britain, the French and Polish code breakers and the flood of top-secret intelligence that was gathered by spies throughout occupied Europe that helped ensure the success of the 1944 Allied invasion. Last Hope Island is a must-read for anyone who wants to explore the heroism of those who fought to restore order to a broken continent.
