Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A masterly work of profound research and reflection, objective and humane’ Hugh Trevor-Roper, Sunday Telegraph What would have happened if the Nazis had invaded Britain? How would the British people have responded – with resistance or collaboration? In Madeleine Bunting’s pioneering study, we begin to find the answers to this age-old question. Though rarely remembered today, the Nazis occupied the British Channel Islands for much of the Second World War. In piecing together the fragments left behind – from the love affairs between island women and German soldiers, the betrayals and black marketeering, to the individual acts of resistance – Madeleine Bunting has brought this uncomfortable episode of British history into full view with spellbinding clarity.

Book excerpt: The Channel Islands were what could have happened to all of us: a test-run of German occupation. That was certainly Hitler’s plan. Once Britain had demilitarised the idyllic, unspoilt holiday islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark in 1940 their fate was sealed: in July the Germans invaded. The following five years in their history offer an intriguing, and often uncomfortable, virtual history of how Britain might have looked under Nazi rule – and how British people, more to the point, might have responded to it, whether through submission, courageous resistance or even collaboration. Barry Turner’s is the first history of the Occupation since Madeleine Bunting’s acclaimed but controversial A Model Occupation in 1995. It is an extremely readable and above all fair-minded account, rich in personal testimonies, showing the extreme privations suffered by the Channel Islanders, so utterly cut adrift by Britain – even if for defensible reasons of wartime expediency –, and above all the huge moral and civic task required of their pre-war governing class, several of whom could hardly have been expected to rise to the occasion. It also draws on newly released documents in the Public Record Office to reveal the messy confusion of Britain’s postwar attitude to the Channel Islands, a source of enduring resentment there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing upon first-hand reminiscences and a superb collection of historic photographs from a wide variety of sources - including private collections - the book details the history of wartime years then brings it up to date with a succinct survey of the surviving relics of the Nazi occupation which can still be seen today." "Channel Islands at War, originally published in hardback in 1999 and now reprinted in paperback to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Islands' liberation in 1945, presents a graphic portrait of this fascinating aspect of recent British history. It will undoubtedly be of considerable interest to all those who study World War 2 in general and Northwest Europe in detail, and also be of particular interest to those who specialise in the employment of the armed forces of Nazi Germany, in a very different environment to that of the usual World War 2 battlefields."--BOOK JACKET.
