Between 1939 and 1945, the civilian population in Britain was exposed to the grim and dangerous realities of war to an unprecedented degree. This book gathers the personal stories of 35 people, drawn from all walks of life, and evokes the reality of life in Britain during the Second World War. Here is a personal portrait of a nation at war, with contemporary photographs, diaries, letters, poems, and other memorabilia belonging to the men and women whose wartime lives are featured.
Jonathan Croall is a writer and journalist and edits three magazines for the National Theatre. His books include Gielgud: A Theatrical Life, widely acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic and a New York Times Book of the Year, and a biography of A.S. Neale, the founder of Summerhill.
