商品簡介
商品簡介
In a world of angst, anger and self-absorption, it's taken members of the Greatest Generation - Tom Moore, Dame Vera Lynn, the Queen - to give us a timely reminder of the self-effacing stoicism required in times of emergency. From the start of the pandemic we've been exhorted to summon up our 'Blitz spirit' or our 'Dunkirk spirit', evidence of how the nation continues to look to the Greatest for guidance. Guidance from the Greatest is divided into twelve chapters, each one representing one of the best qualities of the wartime generation.
A self-help guide, and an antidote to the immature age espoused by some celebrities (who'll ever forget Sam Smith crying with impotent frustration a week into lockdown?), the book will show how we can improve our individual character and our collective approach to life - remember, the WW2 generation were the first to recycle and were 'green' long before Greta came along. Drawing on personal interviews with 200 plus veterans of WW2 - from SAS officers to Battle of Britain aces to London firewomen to Dame Vera herself, Guidance from the Greatest will explain how we can take better control of our lives by harnessing our inner Tom Moore. Packed with wartime anecdotes - from the triumphant to the traumatic - and aimed at Brits of all ages, sexes and disposition, the book will appeal to everyone who wants to learn the art of true grit from the Greatest so that in future we too may say: 'Crisis, what crisis?'
