This book is the first major study of the blackout in the Second
World War. Developing a comparative history of this system of civil
defense in Britain and Germany, it begins by exploring how the
blackout was planned for in both countries, and how the threat of
aerial bombing framed its development. It then examines how well
the blackout was adhered to, paying particular regard to the
tension between its military value and the difficulties it caused
civilians. The book then moves on to discuss how the blackout
undermined the perception of security on the home front, especially
for women. The final chapter examines the impact of the blackout on
industry and transport. Arguing that the blackout formed an
integral part in mobilising and legitimating British and German
wartime discourses of community, fairness and morality, the book
explores its profound impact on both countries.
