Product Description

Review

'Minutely detailed, accurate, skilfully marshalled and engagingly written, it is quite the best social chronicle of the period I have read.' Spectator; 'An immense and impressive assembly...Must surely remain an invaluable essay in the remembrance of things past.' The Times; 'Superbly detailed and illustrated...From stirrup pumps to Spam, Norman Longmate's marvellously comprehensive panorama of the six shattering years misses nothing...Excellent.' Sunday Telegraph; 'Much of it is extremely interesting; some of it fascinatingly out-of-the-way; and all of it contributes to building up a true picture of everyday life in England from September 1939 to August 1945.' Observer


The Times

‘An immense and impressive assembly…Must surely remain an invaluable essay in the remembrance of things past.’

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is emotionally deep in a way I have not met, 5 Dec 2002
By A Customer
before in books about civilians in WW2. The accounts supplied by ordinary people are so poignant I cannot read them aloud to my husband without crying. I was born in 1949 and have always felt I had missed something when people spoke about it. Now I can "experience" it for myself. I have read 3 chapters, and already told my sister about it. She won't want to wait until I have finished it, she is getting one of her own.
