An ';engrossing' memoir of a Royal Air Force doctor's World War II experiences, from surviving Dunkirk to witnessing Nagasaki (The Irish Times). As an RAF medical officer, Aidan MacCarthy served in France, survived Dunkirk, and was interned by the Japanese in Java, where his ingenuity helped his fellow prisoners through awful conditions. While en route to Japan in 1944, his ship was torpedoed, sending him into the Pacific. Miraculously, MacCarthy was rescued by a whaling boatonly to be re-interned in Japan. Ironically, it was the dropping of the atomic bomb at Nagasaki that saved his life, though it also meant being an eyewitness to the horror and devastation it caused. Long out of print, this remarkable war memoir was rediscovered during a journey through Ireland by Pete McCarthy, author of McCarthy's Bar, who describes it as ';jaw-dropping.'

An emphasis is placed on the influence of India, the Middle East, and the Far East on the English kitchen. ';David is in her element; the prose sings, and the song is paean to the exotica that she craved. Even her treatment of a subject ordinarily as prosaic as measurements feels fresh forty years later. ... She demolishes the canard that traditional British food is limited and bland.' British Food in America ';[David] demonstrates the varied and diverse nature of English cooking, identifying its many influences over the centuries resulting from trade with other nations. In fact the book is less a selection ofrecipes than an historical journey through countries that have influenced the English addiction to spices. ... This is an exceptional, well-researched book. An informative and enjoyable read which at the same time doubles as a useful reference tool.' The Caterer ';A lovely variety of well-flavored dishes from many countries.' The Art of Eating
