Summary: A Man Obsessed
Comment: "The Forgotten Dead" is an autobiography of one man's struggle to to pay tribute to 946 American servicemen killed durng rehersals for D-Day off the coast of Deven in England 1944. Mr. Ken Small, an ex-policman and ex-hairdresser, began to uncover the events of the D-Day rehersals while partaking in his hobby of "beachcombing". The book includes a summery all the events of the D-Day rehersals from the the displacement of the local population in the area sourounding Slapton Sands and Blackpool Sands along the coast of Deven to the catatrophe of operation Tiger when a convoy of U.S. Landing Ships were attacked by German E-Boats. Mr. Small supplements his narrative with detailed accounts from U.S. Servicemen who survived operation Tiger and U.S. and U.K. servicemen who were involved in the decisions leading up to operation Tiger. However, the crux of "The Forgotten Dead" is Mr. Smalls obsession with establishing a memorial to pay tribute to all those who perished in the D-Day rehersals. Though not a Pulitzar Prize winner, "The Forgotten Dead" is well worth reading as it recounts a catastrophe in World War II which, until a few years ago, not many people knew about. I, myself, became engrossed in Mr. Small's epic struggles with endless bureaucracies...I found this book to be entertaining as well as thought provoking. ....
