Operation Heartbreak di Duff Cooper
I read Operation Mincemeat by Ben Mezrich back in 2010. While I credit that book for a lot of research and pictures, this book is a elaborate work of fiction that's a heartbreaking love story. Loved the book and felt sorry for Willie.
Pretty compelling quick read.
Orphan Willie Maryngton grows up with one aim in life- to join the Army and go to War. He misses WW! by a whisker and can hardly contain his disappointment. The years roll on- Willie serves out in India, has an unsuccessful romance, starts to feel too old for the increasingly mechanized army...then WW2! Another chance! Yet he finds himself sidelined into non-combative roles.
And meanwhile the children of the family where he grew up ARE finding meaningful activities- even the actor, even the kid sister (for whom Willie's attatchment is growing.)
It has a sudden and unexpected denouement; Willie DOES perform a vital role in the War...
Well written, even if I failed to grasp the mindset of anyone whon WANTS to fight..… (altro)
