East With Ensa: Entertaining the Troops in the Second World War

by Catherine Wells

This is the story of Catherine Wells, a distinguished dancer, who toured with ENSA—the Entertainments National Service Association—in the Second World War. She began her wartime career in Britain, which then took her to Gibraltar, through the Mediterranean, then to North Africa, and finally India. Her story is full of danger, romance, and exotic and unusual places, and offers an entirely new perspective on the Second World War.

[Mick Meyers · Rating 3 out of 5]

You hit the ground running with this book,no time for introduction just straight in with the story.as much a travelogue,as it is about an ensa concert party.not as twee and cosy as you might think with a touch of jealousy and not everybody getting on.
