Description
"In 1942, the bloody ravages of World War II are far from quiet Guernsey in the British Channel Islands. German occupation of the island seems quite civil. But war is war, and no one escapes its devastating effects. For Guernsey, it is a war of intellect and cunning that brings out the best in people and the worst. Sometimes the enemy at the door is the enemy within. And sometimes, the enemy is really a friend." -- Container.
