Summary

The story of one man in World War II. TJ operated in the UK, Norway, Ireland, USA, Canada, Bermuda, Italy, and Austria.

This is a true story, it is a war story, it is anti-war story, and it is a love story.

All TJ wanted was the peace and time to love Liz, a fellow MI6 agent. Should they dare hope for a life together after the war? And, even if they survived, could their love?

TJ’s War took my attention from the first chapter and held me there in a steady state of intrigue and quiet awe all the way to the end; the word gripping does not do it justice. Iain Maclean, the author, has written the incredible story of his father in such a way that the book seems to breathe for itself.
TJ’s War is the story of one man’s journey through World War II, the path he travels down, those he meets, and what he must do to live with the horrors of what he finds along the way. This tale paints a very different picture of World War II than usually portrayed by popular media, and opens one’s mind to a completely different perspective to the norm.
Reading this story you connect with the characters, feeling as even though they are long gone, you actually knew them. You form relationships with the characters and feel the pain of loss when they have gone. The writing style is methodical and full of detail without ever reaching the point of being verbose. Historical information and explanation is filtered in, in a way that makes even the most complicated concepts appear quite straight forward and the descriptions of locales paint a picture in your mind’s eye more vivid that of a photo.
The book is incredibly well researched and I cannot recommend it enough, it makes me want to go research my family history in the hope that one of them also had such an extraordinary past.

Absolutely Incredible, Cannot recommend it enough!

A war story with a love story sub-plot or vice versa? It could be either, but whichever it is, it’s an incredible story of one man’s experiences during the horrors of the Second World War, beautifully written by that man’s son.

The trauma, the anguish, suffering and pain and the snatched moments of joy, success and happiness that kept TJ going are all told with feeling and a level of detail that almost brought them to life.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to TJ’s War - I’m sure there’s a movie in there!

Fascinating Story, Written with Feeling

This book is a must read. A truly amazing story of a real wartime hero. The story is so well by his son many years after the hero's death.

It is a beautifully crafted tail of love, and loss, victory and tragedy. An utterly gripping story - made all the more powerful by the fact that it's true.

For me, it gave heartbreak, but also hope. Hope that a life broken by war may yet waken us all to the pointlessness, pain and ugliness of war.

As I say, a "must read" (or listen, as it is exceptionally well narrated)

Brilliant Storytelling; amazing story
