Geoffrey Page was one of the most remarkable fighter pilots of World War Two. Shot down in a fireball during the Battle of Britain his hands were burnt to the bone and his face badly charred. Despite his horrific injuries Page went onto fly at D-Day, the Battle of Normandy, and Arnhem. On appointment in 1944 he was the youngest Wing Commander in the RAF, aged 24.

During two years in hospital under the care of the legendary pioneering surgeon Archibald McIndoe he endured fifteen painful operations. Through Geoffrey's eyes we understand exactly why McIndoe was such a brilliant ground breaker.

Page vowed to shoot down a German aircraft as revenge for every one of his operations and hit his target, but it left him feeling hollow, 'I had a kind of bloodlust. But when I shot down as many German planes as I had operations on my hands and face, I was just left with an empty feeling.'

Using unpublished material from extensive family archives, this compelling book tells the unvarnished story of his extraordinary life. His terrible crash and dramatic rescue. His founder membership of the famous Guinea Pig Club. His low-level fighter raids over France. His leadership on D- Day and in Normandy and finally his second horrific crash at Arnhem.

The dramatic moments in his extraordinary life and the complexity of his character are explored with humour and humanity, candidly examining Page's difficulties in post war life with at least fifteen further operations to endure in a lifetime of pain.

Through all this, Page's resilience, and courage shine through, culminating in his inspirational vision for the Battle of Britain Memorial in Kent. So unquenchable was his spirit it was no wonder that at his Memorial Service it was said, 'Even in the context of the Battle of Britain he was the bravest of the brave.'

Ever wondered about the untold stories of bravery and resilience during World War II?

Penned by esteemed author and documentary maker John Willis, this poignant narrative unveils the harrowing experiences of British and Australian POWs in Japan during World War II. It's a tale of resilience, camaraderie, and the indomitable human spirit under the shadow of the devastating atomic bombing of Nagasaki.

Will the POWs endure the brutalities of war and survive the horrors of the atomic bombing? Can they keep their spirits high amidst the darkness and despair?

For our protagonists, it's a battle for survival, where the odds are stacked against them. Their will to live determines their fate in this harsh and unforgiving world of war.

Reading this book is an emotional roller coaster, taking you through the depths of despair and the heights of hope, leaving you profoundly moved by the resilience of the human spirit.

John Willis, a celebrated British television executive and award-winning documentary maker, brings his expertise to the fore in this deeply researched and compelling narrative.

Views from the Reservation is filled with spiritual power and insightful observations. [...] The pictures are beautiful; the circumstances are not. This book is a wake-up call, for those who are unaware of or have not considered the historic and current issues of Indigenous Americans and the Oglala Lakota Tribe in particular. -- Zeke Magazine

Photographer John Willis has long been aware of the exploitation that can occur when photographers enter communities as outsiders. So, in 1992, when he first visited the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, he assured elders of the Oglala Lakota nation that he would not exhibit any of his images. Over time, however, Willis earned the respect and trust of the community, and the elders urged him to show his work and create this book so that others might better understand Lakota land and life.

Willis has returned to the reservation every year since 1992, and he has come to grasp and interpret this place as few others have. Views from the Reservation, first published to widespread acclaim in 2010 and now presented in an updated and expanded edition, remains a gift--a wopila--that is meant to open the minds, eyes, and hearts of outsiders to the life, culture, and conditions of the Oglala Lakota people.

Along with his insightful and accomplished images, Willis has enlisted other voices to offer a more complete story: Lakota elders and high school students from the Pine Ridge Reservation offer powerful poems; writer Kent Nerburn contributes an original essay; Emil Her Many Horses, a curator at the National Museum of the American Indian, tells his story of growing up on the rez; Kevin Gover, Director of the National Museum of the American Indian, apologizes for the government's abuse of native people; Oglala Lakota artist Dwayne Wilcox shares his provocative ledger drawings; and members of the Reddest family present their amazing photo collection.

Views from the Reservation is a masterful book that has been praised by the Lakota people for its honesty, spirit, and depth. It offers the chance for native peoples and outsiders alike to appreciate and respect the Pine Ridge Reservation from contemporary and historical points of view, with art and storytelling leading the way.
