Reviews

Praise for WW2 Ladybird Experts Series * - * Shines a light on some of the darkest and most dramatic moments of the six-year conflict. * Daily Mail * The artwork is gloriously retro, echoing the original Ladybird house style but containing completely up to date information. * Shiny New Books *
