Articoli correlati a The Magic Army
The war, they said, would be over by Christmas. That was in 1939, and it is now January 1944. An exhausted Britain faces another year of conflict.
Meanwhile, small coastal villages in Devon are facing an invasion from an army just as foreign as that of the Germans. The Americans are smart, well-fed and well-equipped, and they have swept the bewildered citizens of South Devon from their homes in deadly earnest rehearsal for D-Day.
As the beaches echo to the sound of bullets and the local church to the strains of Glenn Miller, Americans and English are thrown together with sometimes hilarious, sometimes painful and puzzling results.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'Thomas just keeps on giving fiction a good name'Daily MailNew Years Eve, 1943. The tiny village of Slapton is told that it has to be evacuated- American troops are occupying the wide district of South Devon. Over three thousand inhabitants must uproot themselves from their homes in less than a fortnight. The Americans are performing advanced manoeuvres with real bullets- a good reason for civilians to be evacuated. They're prepared for animosity, but they're not prepared for the harsh conditions the war in Europe has imposed upon the civilian population of England; the short supply of almost everything is a far cry from the luxuries of home. Reissued in the time for the fiftieth anniversary of the D- Day landings, THE MAGIC ARMY is vintage Leslie Thomas. Charming, funny and imbued with warmth, he writes about the events leading up to that fateful day with his trademark compassion. A must for all fans of Leslie Thomas. New Year's Eve 1943 - the tiny village of Slapton is told that it has to be evacuated. American troops are occupying the wide district of South Devon. The Americans are prepared for animosity, but not for the harsh conditions the war in Europe has imposed upon the civilian population of England.
