Description

London England: Chatto & Windus, 1981. Hardback. First Edition. The Home Front. Previous owners name and date written neatly to inside cover. Price clipped to D/J. The author draws upon letters, memoirs and diaries, as well as on admonitory government handouts and helpful tips from women's magazines. The subjects covered include the Home Guard, air raids, Morrison Shelters and Woolton Pies, jam-making ladies from the WI, life in a munitions factory, the evacuation of children (and civil servants), the arrival of the Americans, and - most movingly of all - the long-awaited declaration of peace. Our fascination with the last war remains as potent as ever; far more effectively than any conventional account, this book will recall those years to those who lived through them - the horror, the humour, the grindingly hard slog of everyday existence - while providing the perfect introduction to those for whom the war is a distance slive of history. Illustrated. 242 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
