Against the Day
Paperback
(Oxford University Press July 16, 1998)
It is 1941 and the Nazis have just invaded Britain. Two boys, Les and Frank, find themselves caught up in the Resistance movement - at first by accident, and then because they feel it's the only thing they can do. All over the country, various unlikely people have been given something - a
name, a contact, a package - `against the day' of an invasion, and now the Resistance is in motion. On Hitler's birthday, when every town is forced to celebrate, the fight-back begins. And the boys find themselves in the middle of a dangerous game.
