PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
VICTORIA PANTON BACON is a Second World War historian who uses her writing to portray the human cost of war. Her writing career began when she discovered her grandfather's war memoir in his garage; this would later be published as Six Weeks of Blenheim Summer (Penguin, 2018). Her second book, Remarkable Journeys of the Second World War (The History Press, 2020), was described as 'fascinating and touching' by Joanna Lumley. In 2011 Victoria co-founded Elizabeth's Legacy of Hope, a charity that provides amputee children in Africa and India with prosthetic limbs and education. She lives in Suffolk with her family.
'Victoria has done us a huge service in this unique, varied, and vital collection of tales... we can draw from these stories and all they have to teach.' The Hon Captain Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt MP 'The stories of the women in this book needed to be told - and most importantly, their lives and work need to be remembered ... This is a book for all generations.' Lucinda Hawksley, author of Letters of Great Women 'A powerful and vital testimony that needs to reach far and wide to post-war generations to help break the vicious human cycle of war and destruction.' Miriam Frank, Holocaust survivor and author of My Innocent Absence 'A wealth of moving stories and another valuable contribution to the WWII archives.' Wendy Holden, author of Born Survivors
