About this book

This independent study has already attracted controversy. Containing much fresh evidence, it vividly portrays the Islanders' day-to-day Occupation experiences, whilst exploring - and often refuting - what are today becoming received ideas of a mostly 'shameful' wartime past.

Reviews

'This book is a very important contribution to the ongoing discussion on a range of very contentious subjects...Do purchase this book, read it more than once...There is much to be absorbed and considered. You will not be disappointed. I applaud Dr Knowles Smith for her contribution to our learning.' - Geoffrey Rowland, Guernsey Press

'An arresting discussion of the Channel Islands during the occupation...Smith captures the nature of life during the occupation...' - History, The Journal of the Historical Association
