Contesting home defence is a new history of the Home Guard, a novel
national defence force of the Second World War composed of
civilians who served as part-time soldiers: it questions accounts
of the force and the war, which have seen them as symbols of
national unity. It scrutinises the Home Guard's reputation and
explores whether this 'people's army' was a site of social cohesion
or of dissension by assessing the competing claims made for it at
the time. It then examines the way it was represented during the
war and has been since, notably in Dad's Army, and discusses the
memories of men and women who served in it. The book makes a
significant and original contribution to debates concerning the
British home front and introduces fresh ways of understanding the
Second World War. -- .
