In Millions Like Us Virginia Nicholson tells the story of the
women's Second World War, through a host of individual women's
experiences. We tend to see the Second World War as a man's war,
featuring Spitfire crews and brave deeds on the Normandy beaches.
But in conditions of "Total War" millions of women - in the
Services and on the Home Front - demonstrated that they were
cleverer, more broad-minded and altogether more complex than anyone
had ever guessed. Millions Like Us tells the story of how these
women loved, suffered, laughed, grieved and dared; how they re-made
their world in peacetime. And how they would never be the same
again ... 'Vividly entertaining, uplifting and humbling, Millions
Like Us deserves to be a bestseller' Bel Mooney, The Daily Mail
