The incomparable Civil War diarist Mary Chesnut wrote that she had the luck “always to stumble in on the real show.” Married to a high-ranking member of the Confederate government, she was ideally placed to watch and to record the South’s headlong plunge to ruin, and she left in her journals an unsurpassed account of the old regime’s death throes, its moment of high drama in world history. With intelligence and passion she described the turbulent events of politics and war, as well as the complex society around her.

In 1939, 17-year-old Mary found herself in an extraordinary position at an extraordinary time: it was the outbreak of the Second World War and her father, Winston Churchill, had been appointed first lord of the admiralty; within months he would be prime minister. The young Mary Churchill was uniquely placed to observe this remarkable historical moment and her diaries - most of which have never been published - provide a front-row view of the great events of war, as well as exchanges and intimate moments with her father.

Forfatteren og landsretssagføreren Knud Nordentoft (1895-1953) meldte sig ind i Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Arbejderparti i 1940 og fik ansættelse som partifunktionær. I tre et halvt år skrev han en omfattende dagbog om livet blandt danske og tyske nazister, indtil han blev arresteret i majdagene i 1945. Knud Nordentoft skriver om det umulige samarbejde med besættelsesmyndighederne, om jødespørgsmålet, om sin frygt for kommunisterne og om sit håb om det tyske gengældelsesvåben, der kunne udslette England.

The Second World War had been under way for a year when Marie and John Williamson welcomed two English brothers to join them and their two children in their small house in north Toronto for the duration of the conflict. Marie wrote over 150 letters to the boys’ mother, Margaret Sharp, imagining that she could make Margaret feel she was still with her children.
