Afterbursts: Reliving World War II

Have you ever wondered about the lives behind the battle statistics of war? Afterbursts brings together the firsthand testimonies of World War II survivors from both sides of the conflict, offering a rare and unifying history of the trials and tragedies experienced by all participants, regardless of allegiance. Author Lucy Colback spent four years travelling across nations-Russia, China, Japan, the US and Europe-gathering eyewitness accounts of loss, regret, compassion and reconciliation. As living memory fades and war once again reshapes our world, their voices serve as a poignant reminder of the devastating cost of global conflict. With the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII upon us Afterbursts is an essential record for historians, policy-makers and readers seeking a deeper understanding of war's impact on generations past and present.
