'Naval Commander-in-Chief's HQ Wireless Telegraph Rooms in the night of 5 June 1944' needs no more explanation, the atmosphere is so highly charged and convincing – this is exactly how it was.

Whenever we feel inclined to grumble or be depressed about current circumstances, we should think (but easier said than done) about what was happening in June 1944. Or read Few Eggs or London War Notes or indeed so many Persephone books: a full list of our twenty-three WW2 books is here.
