Author Description

When an air raid siren shrieked a warning through the streets of East London, a chicken was there. When bombs dropped on the tiny island of Midway, a chicken was there. When the Tuskegee Airmen soared through the sky showing the world that bravery knows no color, a chicken was there. Now, for the first time ever, the chickens who witnessed the battles and heroics of the Second World War tell their stories. Part historical fiction, part humorous observation, with sharp wit and heartwarming innocence, the chickens who were there tell the tales of the soldiers, leaders, and everyday heroes who fought so the world could be free. Over the course of twenty-five short stories, these eyewitnesses to history will show you a side of history never before told, and not easily forgotten. From the shores of Dunkirk, to the rugged terrain of Iwo Jima, from the barbed wire of a prisoner of war camp, to the code breakers of Bletchley Park, a chicken was there.
