Why read it?
1 author picked Fair Stood the Wind for France as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Less involved with the moral and political dilemmas than some of the other novels I’ve listed, this is more of a straightforward adventure story about a British aircrew who survives a crash landing in France and hides out in a farmhouse.

From Gerard's list on human stories behind World War Two.
