An engrossing account of how Britain became the base of operations for the exiled leaders of Europe in their desperate struggle to reclaim their continent from Hitler.
When the Nazi blitzkrieg rolled over continental Europe in the early days of World War II, the city of London became a refuge for the governments and armed forces of six occupied nations -- Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Norway, Czechoslovakia, and Poland -- who escaped there to continue the fight. So, too, did General Charles de Gaulle, the self- appointed representative of free France. As the only European democracy still holding out against Hitler, Britain became known to occupied countries as 'Last Hope Island'.



Last hope island by Lynne Olson (arc)

Devil in the White City. Gently used. Read once. Minor wear and tear on cover edges. No markings. Comes from a smoke free home.

The Bridge to Brilliance: How One Woman and One Community Are Inspiring the World by Nadia Lopez and Rebecca Paley. Hardcover with dust jacket. Very good. In 2010, Nadia Lopez started her middle-grade public school, Mott Hall Bridges Academy, in one of America’s poorest communities, in a record heat wave—and crime wave. Everything was an uphill battle—to get the school approved, to recruit faculty and students, to solve a million new problems every day, from violent crime to vanishing supplies—but Lopez was determined to break the downward spiral that had trapped too many inner-city children. The lessons came fast: unengaged teachers, wayward students, and the educational system itself, rarely in tune with the already disadvantaged and underprepared.
 
Things were at a low ebb for everyone when one of her students told a photographer that his principal, “Ms. Lopez,” was the person who most influenced his life.
