Product Description
Many studies have been made of the great evacuation and numerous books written on the subject, but because the story has so many different facets no account can ever be considered complete. What has generally been overlooked is the long-term effects that evacuation had upon those who were involved. Many of these former evacuees try to avoid speaking or even thinking about this crucial part of their lives. Most cannot do so without finding long repressed emotions welling up inside them, emotions that have affected them throughout their adult lives and which will never go away.
In this book, using newly released material and oral evidence Martin has attempted to tell the true story of the greatest family and social upheaval ever known in modern Britain, an experience which altered not only the lives of those who were evacuees but also the attitudes and social structure of the nation.
Nina Bawden, Times Educational Supplement, Jan 8th 1999
What I didn't until I read Martin Parson's splendid and comprehensive account of the evacuation is that planning for it began as early as 1931.... Parsons supplies fascinating details of those early deliberations.
