This is an account of real-life romance among the service men and women who made the most of the sexual freedom afforded by World War II. From letters and personal interviews, the author tells anecdotes of courtship and marriage in war-torn Britain, romantic days and nights in Africa, north-west Europe, the Far East and America. The book tells the stories of: the escaped POW who loved an Italian contessa and deserted; the Shropshire schoolgirls who took home two Czech soldiers planning to assassinate Gestapo chief Heydrich; the ATS wife who, posted overseas, left her husband holding the baby. Many well-known names appear, from HRH Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor to Supreme Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Corporal James (Jimmy) Young. The author has also written "Operation Millenium", "Women Who Went to War" and "Heroines of World War II".
