The trials, troubles and triumphs of returning home after the end
of World War Two. What happened when millions of British servicemen
were "demobbed"-demobilized-after World War II? Most had been
absent for years, and the joy of arrival was often clouded with
ambivalence, regrets, and fears. Returning soldiers faced both
practical and psychological problems, from reasserting their place
in the family home to rejoining a much-altered labor force.
Civilians worried that their homecoming heroes had been barbarized
by their experiences and would bring crime and violence back from
the battlefield. Drawing on personal letters and diaries,
newspapers, reports, novels, and films, Alan Allport illuminates
the darker side of the homecoming experience for ex-servicemen,
their families, and society at large-a gripping story that's in
danger of being lost to national memory.
