$1.91The Story
In the spring of 1940 the German war machine was racing across Europe. Amid the chaos and destruction, one young man, like many others, answered the call of his government and his conscience. Sixteen-year-old Francis de Marneffe left his home in Brussels that May, headed for France on his bicycle with 500 francs in his pocket. As he waved good-bye to his family, he had no idea that five long years of war would pass until he saw them again -- if indeed he ever did. Last Boat From Bordeaux is an engaging history, one that not only recounts one young man's escape across Europe during the early days of World War II, but offers a personal glimpse into what times were like for the millions of people whose lives were turned upside down by the most desperate and important conflict of the 20th Century. Francis de Marneffe's story, from emigre English schoolboy to RAF pilot to post-war US citizenship, exemplifies the turmoil, tragegy, and triumph of his generation.
