Tuesday, 8 May 1945: Victory in Europe Day. A day of joyous
celebration, as the end of a conflict which had engulfed the world
came within touching distance. Millions of people celebrated in the
streets throughout Britain. Yet not all was right in the world.
Struggles remained ahead - war still raged on between the Allies
and Japan. Agreements and treaties were yet to be forged. Lives
continued to be lost around the world. Meanwhile in Britain,
although the pressure of supporting active military campaigns was
reduced, lives were irrevocably changed in other ways. Bonds forged
by the momentum of struggle, by hardship, unity and common purpose
would begin to fade, and give way to the wounds of sorrow, upheaval
and trauma that six years of conflict had riven. What was it really
like to be living in Britain as the war drew to a close, giving way
to a new era of hope, but also of deep uncertainty? In The Day the
War Ended, bestselling author Jacky Hyams delivers a sweeping
story, weaving together illuminating untold stories with
contemporary records and photographs. The result is a moving,
personal insight into hearts and minds across the home front right
through the momentous year of 1945, as war ended and 'everything
after' took root, shaping the world we know today.
