Product Description

Product Description
A text which uses over 200 photographs to bring to life the Home Guard during a unique period in British history. The images recall the activities of the auxiliary force otherwise known as 'Dad's Arm'. The book draws on the early days of the Local Defence Volunteers from the moment when Anthony Eden broadcast an appeal, to the official stand-down of the Home Guard n 1944. This title evokes memories of World War II in a domestic setting and asserts life on the Home Front from the perspective of those left behind to defend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive pictorial history of the Home Guard, 22 Jun 2000
David Carroll has done a great job in presenting a thorough pictorial history of the Home Guard.It shows the diversity of Home Guard Units (including "roller skaters!") in a format that one can "dip" into again and again.For anyone who wants to find out more,but not get bogged down with heavy reading,I recommend this to you.

By "Smith" Reader (West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I really enjoy any sort of history - this book is one of the best. It brought the Home Guard to life. Brave men.

A good interesting read.
