Through War & Adversity

Through War & Adversity is the expansion of my dissertation piece, titled here as the Second World War, this attempt at a first novel is an anthology of the lives different service men and women experienced during the most-violent struggle in human history.  

 

Once Upon a Time in Nazi-Occupied Europe:

An RAF pilot is captured by the Nazis on the moonlit shores of Dunkirk and is interned to the Stalag Luft III Prisoner-of-war camp at Sagan.

When he escapes his family, allies and enemies wonder where he's gone to, while each fulfilling the own trepidations of their lives before and after they met the legendry Roger Farrier.  

 

All feedback is appreciated and will be acknowledged in the book should this become a published novel.  Many thanks and the kindest regards, J. A. Stapleton.
