Unknown Author

4.9/5 (14625 ratings)

Description:This volume contains the entries for 1939 to 1945 in Jack Over hill's gigantic diary (it comprises twenty-five books of typescript), which he began in 1932 when he was 29, and ended shortly before his death in 1989. Displaying the talents and obsessions of its compiler, this addition to the Cambridgeshire Record Society series contains a detailed and striking portrait of Cambridge in the Second World War, from the viewpoint of a quarrelsome pacifist. Jack was also an enthusiastic swimmer who might be seen in the Cam summer and winter, and an ambitious author who composed twenty-six novels and a lengthy autobiography. Jack failed to find publishers for these writings save for three novels, and so his life was clouded by a major disappointment. The work he most valued was his diary, a lasting validation of his identity: when the air-raid siren went it was his diary that Jack chose to save by taking it into the shelter. He would be delighted by this publication of a small part of it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
