Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of VE Day, this inspiring book draws from first-hand interviews, diaries and memoirs. It paints an enthralling picture of a day that marked the end of the war in Europe and the beginning of a new era.

VE Day affected millions of people in countless ways. This book records a highly representative sample of those views, from both Britain and abroad, from civilians and service men and women, from the famous and not-so-famous, in order to provide a moving story and a valuable social picture of the times.

Mixed with humour as well as tragedy, rejoicing as well as sadness, regrets of the past and hopes for the future, *Ten Days in May* is an inspiring record of one of the great turning-points in history.
