Village That Died for England
The Strange Story of Tyneham
Tyneham was a Dorset hamlet evacuated to make a training area during World War II and never returned to its inhabitants despite Churchill's pledge of restitution. This study is a subtle parable about the politics of landscape and a masterpiece of English irony.
