Vegan Veteran (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A hundred years ago, vegans were regarded with disdain and seen as weird and weakly. In Vegan Veteran, author Peter Burdin shares the story of his father, Roy, as he battled to promote a vegan and vegetarian diet, a diet that's finally become mainstream as a healthy lifestyle choice and a major contributor to combatting climate change. Burdin also tells how Roy lived through World War II as he worked on the top-secret-radar project that thwarted Hitler's attempts to invade Britain, defeated the Nazi war machine in Normandy, assisted in the Desert War, and played a key role in Operation Market Garden at Arnhem and the liberation of the concentration camps. Vegan Veteran narrates a compelling biography filled with adventure, love, and resilience that sweeps through the horrors of the World War I, the poverty of the Great Depression, World War II, and the privations that followed in the post-war world of the nuclear weapons age and the Cold War. Above all, it's the story of two of the so-called Greatest Generation, their wartime romance which survived the war, the great social upheavals that followed, and the family they created.
