Fighting the People's War is an unprecedented, panoramic history of
the 'citizen armies' of the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada,
India, New Zealand and South Africa, the core of the British and
Commonwealth armies in the Second World War. Drawing on new sources
to reveal the true wartime experience of the ordinary rank and
file, Jonathan Fennell fundamentally challenges our understanding
of the War and of the relationship between conflict and
socio-political change. He uncovers how fractures on the home front
had profound implications for the performance of the British and
Commonwealth armies and he traces how soldiers' political beliefs,
many of which emerged as a consequence of their combat experience,
proved instrumental to the socio-political changes of the postwar
era. Fighting the People's War transforms our understanding of how
the great battles were won and lost as well as how the postwar
societies were forged.
