It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries.

Ellen Brazer
Some people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and most remarkable race which has appeared in the world. — Winston S. Churchill
Ellen Brazer, Clouds Across the Sun

Mark   Ellis
Ivan, the Russian sharpshooter, was sitting, gun in hand, behind one of Borg’s men on a motorbike further down South Eaton Place. The wooden barriers, the parked lorry and the elderly gentleman with the stick were all part of Isaac Walsh’s plan, aimed at hampering the policemen and giving Abbott a chance to escape.
Mark Ellis, Death of an Officer
