As with other volumes in the Your Towns & Cities in World War Two series it speaks to the experience of local people who found themselves buffeted by a conflict which would leave its mark on everyone who lived through one of the most challenging periods in Britain’s history. The people of the Orkney Islands were not unique in what they went through during the Second World War but the remoteness of their communities and the scale of the naval operations around them did perhaps amplify the impact on their lives.

It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended – I thought that it was a great read and a great insight into what it would have been like in the towns and villages around Cambridge too – I enjoyed that the focus was not just on the city. I have another book in the series to read by this author on Derbyshire over the same period so can’t wait to get stuck in to that one now!!
