Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

This is a fascinating and poignant collection of photographs and first-hand accounts documenting everyday life on Britain's home front during WWII.Collected here are the stories of the men, women and children left at home who dug for victory, knitted for victory, waved goodbye to loved ones, accommodated strangers, went out to work and who provided invaluable support to the troops on the frontline.Accounts of mass evacuations during the 'phoney war', blackouts and camaradarie in the shelters sit alongside heart-warming tales of personal victories, tragic stories of loss and confusion and detailed accounts of the destruction of major cities, towns and villages.Diary extracts, archive documents, letters, propaganda and personal memories are vividly brought to life with revealing and often breathtaking images, exposing the extraordinary lives of these ordinary citizens during the people's war.
