A vivid and evocative collection of eye witness acconts,diaries, reportage and scraps of memory from men, womenand children who lived through the dark days of World WarII. Lavishly illustrated with newspaper pictures andpersonal photos, the book shows what life was like formillions of ordinary people throughout the war - men andwomen in the services, those who stayed at home, childrenbilleted with strangers in the country and of course thespirit and suffering of the Blitz. It brilliantlycaptures the sights, smells, sounds and voices of thecountry at war sixty years ago. The book ends with a richcollection of recipes drawn from advertisements, scrap-books and magazines of the time, providing a very literaltaste of wartime Britain.
