Before My Voice Fades

In June 1944 in a quiet countryside of southern France over 750 innocent children, women, and men were ruthlessly murdered in a brutal maelstrom. A village that had stood for a thousand years simply vanished. No amount of historical revisionism can erase this stain on humanity. Have we learned nothing at all since? Based on real events.Rest in peace, children of God. I received a package in the mail containing a journal from the estate of Colonel Janine Carlisle, Ret., of the British Intelligence Service known as MI6 sent to me by her granddaughter - also Janine Carlisle.This is not your usual WWII diary. It contains detailed descriptions, dates, units, orders, and certain items that remain classified even to this day.Since publishing The Juno Letters series, including a story featuring the same Janine Carlisle told to me by my late friend Sid Woodard - The Scavengers of Graveny Marsh - I have grown accustomed to people sending me war-related letters. But nothing could have prepared me for the wealth of information in the Carlisle Journal.Or the shock of finding my study ransacked a week later. The only thing taken - the Carlisle Journal.The stories in this series are based on that journal and the secrets within - secrets that could fundamentally change how we remember the war that shaped the modern world and those who rose to power in its wake.Someone does not want those stories told.Thank you, granddaughter Janine, for also sending me a digital copy.L.W.
