The remarkable first work by the best-selling author of GENESIS and REVELATION. A panoramic novel that covers the Second World War from beginning to end, through the experiences of a British soldier, Johnny Ramsden, who fights and loves in France, North Africa and Germany. Also through the eyes of his best friend, Beatty, a black-marketeer addicted to danger and decadence. And, finally, through the trials and tribulations of Johnny's working-class family, forced to endure the horrors of the Home Front during the London 'Blitz' and its bloody aftermath. A novel about tender adolescent love, jaded predatory sex, family conflict, and the brutalities of the war to end them all. A marvelous 'lost' debut from this highly acclaimed author. A truly epic war novel to remember.
