Courte biographie
Desmond Flower was a publisher, a book-collector, a scholar and a writer; he was business-like in his dealings, a generous and perceptive patron, sympathetic and courageous, appreciative of the good things of life. Yet there was a sense of promise not fulfilled, a talent that never found its ideal application. --Nicolas Barker

Critiques

THE TASTE OF COURAGE: The War 1939-1945. par Flower & Reeves (ed).
This anthology was later reissued in five volumes, and their ISBNs can be found. As for the book itself, there are many different contributors, and the editors made a serious effort to assemble as broad a picture as possible,avoiding many famous names in favour of different points of view, tending to socialogy rather than literature. i am sorry the expected reprintings have not occurred.
