Sobre este item
London: Bloomsbury Caravel, 2017. Pictorial Boards. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 323 pages, indexed, illustrated with black and white photos. No jacket as issued. The pages are lightly tanned, else the book is as new. "Train to Nowhere is a war memoir seen through the sardonic eyes of Anita Leslie, a funny and vivacious young woman who reports on her experiences with a dry humour, finding the absurd alongside the tragic. Daughter of a Baronet and first cousin once removed of Winston Churchill, she joined the Mechanized Transport Corps as a fully trained mechanic and ambulance driver during WWII, serving in Libya, Syria, Palestine, Italy, France and Germany. Ahead of her time, Anita bemoans first-rate women subordinate to second-rate men, ' and, as the British Army forbade women from serving at the front, joined the Free French Forces in order to do what she felt was her duty. Writing letters in Hitler 's recently vacated office and marching in the Victory parade contrast with observations of seeing friends murdered and a mother avenging her son by coldly shooting a prisoner of war. Unflinching and unsentimental, Train to Nowhere is a memoir of Anita 's war, one that, long after it was written, remains poignant and relevant." (publisher)
