To War with Whitaker : Wartime Diaries of the Countess of Ranfurly, 1939-45

When World War II began, Dan Ranfurly was dispatched to the Middle East.

These are the diaries of his young wife, Hermoine, who, defying the War Office, raced off to be with her husband!

When Dan was taken prisoner, Hermoine vowed never to return home until they were reunited.

For six years, traveling from Cape Town to Palestine and meeting people like Churchill and Eisenhower, she kept her promise.
