  This collection of stories is the perfect introduction to events that shaped the twentieth century - packed with fighting facts and black-and-white photographs, it is an essential accompaniment to the sixtieth anniversary of VE Day. You can find out how: the 250,000 soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy fared against the waiting German army; Britain's best fighter pilots stopped the sinister V1 flying bombs from blasting London; a female secret agent avoided capture by the Gestapo after parachuting into occupied France; and a Lancaster bomber damaged in the air over Berlin defeated the odds and made it home to Britain.
