Zinc

John, George and Eva are three siblings involved in the war in contrasting, but equally dramatic, ways. George is a secret agent parachuted into Slovakia to blow up trains in an operation codenamed 'Zinc'. Eva, living in Hungary, is involved with the Resistance, while John is a code-breaker at Bletchley Park. Based on the extraordinary real-life experiences of the author's father, uncle and aunt, Zinc was written for the author's son to show the active and heroic participation of their North London Jewish family in the wartime struggle against tyranny.
