Summary:

This is the true story of Second World War fighter pilot, Richard Hillary.

After being shot down in September 1940, Hillary spent several months in hospital, undergoing numerous operations; a member of Archibald McIndoe's 'Guinea Pig Club'. Originally published in 1942, just months before he died in a second crash, The Last Enemy recounts the struggles and successes of a young man in the Royal Air Force.

Told through Hillary's eyes, this incredible story shows that even in our darkest moments there is a glimmer of enduring hope.
