The Second World War challenged many of the concepts that had provided stability and unity in the world. As totalitarian regimes in Europe and Asia attempted to impose their world view on their neighbours, a struggle for what Winston Churchill described as 'Christian civilisation' took place on many fronts. On the home front, on land, on sea and in the air, as well as in the horrific concentration camps of Europe and prisoner of war camps in the Far East, people of a Christian faith found their beliefs challenged. However, for many this challenge provided an affirmation of that faith, as it provided a rock amidst the ever shifting sands of circumstance. This book contains the accounts of twenty such individuals, many drawn from previously unpublished sources. Their testimonies provide evidence that during a time of discord, disruption, dislocation and death, the Christian faith remained a key force in sustaining morale and a willingness to fight the good fight. AUTHOR: In 2010 John Broom gained a Master's degree from the Open University and is currently undertaking PhD research at the University of Durham on Christianity in the British Armed Services during the Second World War. His first book, Fight the Good Fight: Voices of Faith from the First World War, was published by Pen aSword in 2015. John maintains an active social media presence on Twitter at @johnbroom1970 and a blog at www.faithinwartime.wordpress.com. He also has an author page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/fairthinwartime. 26 illustrations
