The book is founded on the stories told by the authors older relatives about their wartime exploits. How they were sent away to the countryside when the bombs started to fall and how different life was compared to Portsmouth and London. The older ones told some of their adventures in France and Germany. This book is based on the many stories. I have heard these during my earlier years, and it left a lasting impression on my mind. Some of it is true, while some of it is fiction. In part, the book is a tribute to the memory of the storytellers, now sadly long gone, whose stories gave me the inspiration to write. The book tells the story of two twins as they journey from blissful childhood through the horrors of war and their friendships and loves they develop along the way. Set between 1939 and 1945, it will give the reader a very different view of life as a young adult from what can be experienced today.

Edwin Llewellyn Charles was a slim, handsome youth, but Terence John, his brother, was beautiful and he knew it. Technically, the boys were twins, but their personalities could not have been more different.So begins this sweeping true story of a fractured but close - knit Australian family during World War II, focusing on the service of the twins and life on the home front as experienced primarily by their elder sister and mother.When hostilities are declared, Terry joins the Australian Military Forces and is quickly promoted. However, as a militiaman, he is banned from serving overseas. Having watched Edwin join the glamorous RAAF and become a pilot, Terry resigns his commission to follow his twin. Forced to swallow the disappointment of failing to emulate Edwin by winning his wings, Terry becomes a navigator in heavy bombers in the closing stages of the European war. Readers are transported from the Charles family home in northern NSW to Canberra, Africa, England, Scotland, the United States, the Subcontinent and Ceylon between 1939 and the end of 1945 as the perspective shifts between the two protagonists. Little - known aspects of wartime experience are explored, including the so - called 'wet canteens' debate; the international negotiations over the release of interned Allied and Japanese diplomats, and the life of the Raj on the north - west frontier and in India and Ceylon. The author's clever interweaving of primary documents with historical fact gives rare insights into the lives and relationships of the Charles family and creates an authentic snapshot of wartime Australia. The Charles Family's War is a compassionate and multi - layered examination of two intelligent and articulate young men who come of age in the cauldron of global conflict.

The illuminating and deeply moving true story of twin sisters who survived Nazi experimentation, against all odds, during the Holocaust. Eva and her identical twin sister, Miriam, had a mostly happy childhood. Theirs was the only Jewish family in their small village in the Transylvanian mountains, but they didn't think much of it until anti-Semitism reared its ugly head in their school. Then, in 1944, ten-year-old Eva and her family were deported to Auschwitz. At its gates, Eva and Miriam were separated from their parents and other siblings, selected as subjects for Dr. Mengele's infamous medical experiments. During the course of the war, Mengele would experiment on 3,000 twins. Only 160 would survive--including Eva and Miriam. Writing with her friend Danica Davidson, Eva reveals how two young girls were able to survive the unimaginable cruelty of the Nazi regime, while also eventually finding healing and the capacity to forgive. Spare and poignant, I Will Protect You is a vital memoir of survival, loss, and forgiveness.
