The symbol of Remembrance Day is the Red Poppy. It is also the symbol of Justin Sheedy’s latest book, “Nor the Years Condemn” . This Remembrance Day weekend, Sheedy will be signing copies of “Nor the Years Condemn” at Dymocks George Street Sydney, flagship store of the great Dymocks Books chain of stores, a surviving icon and national treasure of Australian literary and popular culture. The timing is perfect as Sheedy’s latest book is a ripping historical novel based on the true and till now untold ‘Remembrance’ story of the young Australians who flew Spitfires against Nazi Germany in World War II.

If Australians think that their nation had its baptism of fire at Gallipoli or in the hell of the trenches of the Western Front, in “Nor the Years Condemn” they will discover a key and formative chapter of their history as yet untold. It is a story that will make them even prouder to be Australians. This Remembrance Day weekend, think Red Poppies. Think “Nor the Years Condemn” by Justin Sheedy. Come and meet the author for your signed copy at Dymocks George St Sydney.

“Nor the Years Condemn” has just been accepted by The Australian War Memorial for stocking on their bookstores shelves and has received the most amazing reader reviews & press reviews since publication in early 2012.

Particularly as he grew up in the local area, Sheedy very much looks forward to sharing with Dymocks Macquarie customers his passion for the great Australian true story on which Nor the Years Condemn is based: the stunning saga of the young Australians who crossed the planet to fly Spitfires against Nazi Germany in World War II. Sheedy is honoured that the book has just been accepted by The Australian War Memorial.

Sales of the book certainly seem to have been swelled by Sheedy’s recent interview on the John Laws Show, with so many book-lovers engaged by the prospect of reading an Australian story of ‘Gallipoli’ magnitude yet, until now, unknown by most Australians… At Gallipoli in 1915 Australia discovered its ‘national identity’ – a breed of young people looking after each other in the midst of the worst situation imaginable, a heroic defeat. Nor the Years Condemn tells a story in this very same ANZAC nation-defining tradition yet, by contrast to the Gallipoli story, not one of heroic defeat but of stunning victory, albeit at tragic cost, of how the best & brightest of an Australian generation ironically chose one of the fastest ways to die of World War II – and won it.

The product of 10 years’ research and WWII aircrew veteran interviews by Sheedy, his inspiration to write Nor the Years Condemn was to bring alive an untold chapter of Australian war history through the descriptive powers of historical fiction. A truly ‘ripping yarn’ of (very) young men flying Spitfires into air combat, Nor the Years Condemn is also ‘a mothers’ story’, as for every shining young man who flew a Spitfire, there was also a mother cursed to relinquish her wonderful young son to war, just one factor that renders Sheedy’s story such a heart-rending read.

To Sheedy’s avowed relief, this, his second book, has received since publication in early 2012 the kind of reviews he long dreamed of yet never expected. To read them, CLICK THE LINK.
