‘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.

Review:
"Madeleine Bunting is a superb chronicler of what happened - if you want a classic example of the dilemmas of Resistance, here it is." (Professor Norman Stone The Times)
"A masterly work of profound research and reflection, objective and humane" (Hugh Trevor-Roper Sunday Telegraph)

"Excellently researched... This book...is an important historical document, if an uncomfortable one, in the understanding of our national character" (John Mortimer Sunday Times)
"[An] excellent book...thoroughly unflinching, fair-minded, humane and sensitive" (Jonathan Keates Evening Standard)
