War Diary Alan Beardsley

Discovered in 2020 after spending the last 75 years in an attic, War Diary: The Diary of Mike Rogers has the power to become a world classic - a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1939, with Great Britain on the brink of War, Mike Rogers details the daily, and often mundane experiences of a thirteen-year-old British boy and his family. For the next six years, until the end of World War 2; Mike Rogers and his family try to maintain daily life. With many items restricted, and daily activities curbed, read as Mike Rogers recounts the various military activities across Europe, Africa and the Far East; the cinematic delights; the changing British climate; and the constant cruelties of living in an area of London attacked by various flying-craft. In his factually-rich diary, Mike Rogers records vivid impressions of his experiences during the war-time period. Thoughtful, moving, and often amusing, Mike Rogers' account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage, the strength of purpose, and provides compelling details of many pivotal and historic moments of a bygone age.
