When I started writing The Undefeated, I wasn’t sure anyone would read it. Today it’s reached readers in the UK, USA, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Australia. Thank you to everyone who has bought, reviewed, recommended or shared the book.

6 June is best known as D-Day. But four years earlier, my great-grandfather John Conway was fighting at Franleu in Normandy with the 7th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. His capture and POW experiences inspired The Undefeated. Sometimes history becomes personal.

His was just one of the many extraordinary POW stories told in The Undefeated - the untold lives of Allied prisoners of war in Europe, 1939–1945.

They were starved, beaten, marched across continents - yet never broken. The Undefeated reveals the real stories of Allied POWs in WWII, told in their own words. Not myth. Not film. Reality. The photographs show their faces. This book tells their story. 📖 Discover The Undefeated
