Winner of 20 national book awards, SHOT DOWN is set within the framework of World War II in Europe and recounts the dramatic experiences of each member of a ten man B-17 bomber crew after their plane, piloted by the author's father, was knocked out of the sky by German fighters over the French/Belgian border on February 8,1944.
Some men died. Some were captured and became prisoners of war. Some men evaded capture and were missing in action for months before making it back to England. Their individual stories and those of the courageous Belgian people who risked their lives to help them are all different and are all remarkable.
Even before the dramatic battle in the air and the subsequent harrowing events on the ground, the story is informative, insightful, and captivating. Prior to the fateful event, the book covers the crew's training, their journey to England, what life was like on base as well as in London and the English countryside, and the perils of flying combat missions over occupied Europe and Germany.
Through personal letters, oral and written accounts, declassified military documents, and interviews - all from people who took part in the events that happened over 70 years ago (even the German Luftwaffe pilot who shot down the Susan Ruth) - the stories come alive. Adding to the feeling of "being there", are more than 200 time period photographs interspersed throughout the book.
To add background and context, many historical facts and anecdotes about and surrounding World War II are entwined throughout the book so that the reader has a feel for and understanding of what was occurring on a broader scale. SHOT DOWN is an account about brave individuals, featuring pilot Howard Snyder, set within the compelling events of the greatest conflict in world history.

Описание: A Critical Companion to the work of the playwright once described in The Times as ‘England's greatest living dramatist' and by Sarah Kane as ‘the Shakespeare of our age'. It examines his best known plays in detail and includes contributions from directors and actors associated with his work. Howard Barker is widely recognised as one of the most important playwrights of recent and contemporary European Theatre. While his status within the Britain cultural establishment has waxed and waned, he remains the only living British playwright to have a company devoted exclusively to his work, and his theoretical writings and essays about theatre are also encountered by undergraduates and postgraduates in most University theatre and drama departments. This companion begins with an overview of Barker's long career to date, identifying key themes, approaches and features of his work. It examines in detail Barker's major plays written and performed between 1983 and 2012 through a broadly chronological structure and considering the plays as performance texts, with discussions of productions, staging and critical reception. Barker's extensive writing on his own work is reviewed and the book features also critical perspectives from a number of individuals who have worked as director, actor or designer on his work.
