Half the British Army never left Britain during the Second World
War and became, with the civilian population, the Home Front. In
Wartime the danger, courage, deprivation, exhaustion, fear, humour
and, sometimes, boredom that the population endured for six years
is vividly brought to life through the voices of those who lived
through them. From the vituperative and funny diary of a Sheffield
housewife through the letters of an artist killed at Monte Cassino
to the experiences of four Liverpool children and their hostile
mother billeted on a Cheshire family, the everyday hardship,
frustration and sadness of the war vibrate off the page. Many of
these stories have not been told before; many of the letters and
diaries have never been published. Juliet Gardiner has had access
to a staggering wealth of rich, new material which covers all
aspects of the conflict from conscription, rationing, propaganda
and censorship to the plight of separated families, lack of money,
entertainment and victory. This is a truly authoritative,
comprehensive and involving perspective of the war years at home.
