Book excerpt: In Billy's War, James C. McKay, the prominent Washington attorney (first in his class at Georgetown University Law School who, as special prosecutor under the Reagan Administration, investigated Attorney General Edwin Meese in the Wedtech pipeline scandal), has written a semi-autobiographical novel, taking us from a Maryland farm boy's first unworldly days at Cornell University's Agricultural College to the command of a warship during one of the most critical battles of World War II-the first Allied invasion of Europe against the might of Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy. A coming of age tale in a world on the brink of war, McKay's prose is heartwarming and honest as we follow Billy from small town innocence to confront the cynical elitism of wealth and privilege in the Ivy League halls of academia. Then to constant danger and sudden death on the decks of a warship in the midst of a historic battle against one of the worst threats to humanity in modern times.

Book excerpt: Billy in the Wars is the illustrated memoir of ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman, recalling his experiences as a young boy growing up in wartime Britain. Bill brings history to life through the personal lens of his childhood memories, where grim anecdotes of war are punctuated by moving moments of childhood innocence and joy. Three-year-old William George Perks (now Bill Wyman) was living with his parents and brother in working-class Sydenham, South London, when war broke out. Over the coming years he experienced endless terrifying hours spent in air-raid shelters, the constant droning of doodlebugs overhead, a near miss with a German fighter-bomber, and evacuations from London to new rural adventures. Out of a backdrop of constant fear and hunger, Bill learned the importance of persistence, courage and resilience; values that ultimately led him out of his neighbourhood and on to a vast and exciting future.
