The Battle of Britain gratefully tells their story.

An interview with a British World War II soldier whose name just happens to be James Ryan (Jim). On the 6th June 1944, 19-year-old Jim Ryan, a tank driver, came ashore 3 hours after the start of what would go down in history as "D-Day". By midnight 57,000 American and 75,000 British and Canadian troops were encamped on the beachhead, pinned down by heavy German artillery fire. From boarding his landing craft hampered by terrible weather, setting off on an incredible journey to the disembarkation on Sword Beach, this is the true story of one man's personal war.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was concerned that middle-aged men were being cold-shouldered from service and so on 14th May 1940, Anthony Eden broadcast to the nation, announcing the formation of the Local Defence Volunteers. Within 24 hours over ¼ million men had offered their services, grateful for the chance at last to do something for their Country's defence. At the end of July this force was proudly renamed, and the Home Guard were born. Featuring stories told by Ronald Quartington, Keith Chisman, John Smythe and James Roffey.

The author, a veteran producer of historical documentaries, brings to life this era of political unrest and violent conflict, when forces on both the left and right were engaged in a desperate power struggle.

Robert K. Brigham has had a substantial career as a historian of the Vietnam War, with a hand in nine books, a documentary, public history projects, and more. While many a historian has felt compelled at some point to write about a subject close to them personally, Brigham did not think he was doing that. But, at age 58, Brigham, who had long known he was adopted, discovered that he’d improbably and unknowingly been studying and talking about his real father for decades.

A particularly amusing flight aboard a B25 Bomber, reminiscent of Jimmy Doolittle's legendary missions, adds a light-hearted touch to his military journey.

They fled through shadows, their hearts heavy with unspoken fears. Three sisters—bound by blood and an unyielding love—forced to abandon their once vibrant lives in Saigon as North Vietnam’s relentless advance shattered everything they knew. What had once been jasminescented evenings, and laughter became a landscape of smoke, chaos, and survival. Their escape through warravaged Cambodia was a journey carved from terror and fragile hope. Under a watchful sky, they dodged patrols, scavenged for scraps, and moved in silence as the rumble of artillery swallowed their whispers.
