    As seen on Channel 5’s hit shows, Springtime on the Farm, This Week on the Farm and Cannon Hall: A Yorkshire Farm 
     
     
    Packed with fresh anecdotes and astonishing new detail, this emotional journey to the foothills of the Pennines brings the Cannon Hall Farm story bang up to date. 
     
    In their own words, the very personal story of the ups and downs of the Nicholson family at Cannon Hall farm spanning almost 70 years. 
     
     
    From the death of Roger’s beloved dad Charlie to the daily struggle for survival amid farming’s rapidly changing landscape, the Nicholsons have weathered storm after storm. 
     
     
    They came perilously close to losing it all as a lifetime of farming tradition seemed to slip through their fingers. 
    But in a daring last roll of the dice, they bet the farm – and won – creating against all odds one of Britain’s best-loved tourist attractions. 
     
     
    Here, Roger and wife Cynthia, along with their sons Richard, Robert and David, take turns reflecting on some of the dizzy highs and crushing lows that have made them who they are today: champion livestock breeders, TV stars and – above all – devoted farmers.

    As a Russian recruit in World War II, Ivan Makarov witnessed General Chuikov pull out his pistol and shoot their regimental commander as a traitor. That was on his first day at the front. Thrown into an open field to face German tanks and artillery fire, with only rifles and machine guns to defend themselves with, almost 2,000 men of his regiment were wiped out in only six days at the Eastern Front. At this rate, Ivan struggled to comprehend how he would survive the hundreds of battles that lay before him, with death seeming to be the only certainty. 
     
     
     
    In his raw and trenchant memoir, Ivan recounts the terror and despair faced by a Red Army soldier on the Eastern Front. He has no sympathy for Stalin and his incompetent commanders, who sought awards and recognition at the expense of their soldiers' lives. He simply wanted to serve his country. 
     
     
     
    It is rare to find first-hand accounts of the Great Patriotic War from Red Army soldiers, as many did not survive to tell the tale. For the first time, Ivan reveals his gripping recollections of battles, times, places, and people encountered throughout World War II, from when he was drafted in 1941 until their victory in 1945. These recollections he dared not put on paper until 1992.
