Civilians into soldiers is an examination of body cultures in the
British Army during the Second World War. Drawing on a wealth of
official records and servicemen's personal testimonies, it explores
the ways in which male civilians were turned into soldiers through
the techniques by which they were inducted into military service.
It follows the chronological experiences of wartime recruits, from
their enlistment and training to their confrontations with wounding
and death, and traces the significance of the body throughout. As
such, it provides new ways of understanding how the British
prepared for and conducted the Second World War. Civilians into
soldiers will appeal to students and specialists in British social
and cultural history, war studies and military medicine and health.
