| Description: |
Endorsed by the Imperial War Museum, this book provides the answers to many questions relating to the Britain at war experience, by using facsimiles of actual documents and memorabilia from the time: photos, paintings, propaganda, regulations, and witness accounts. A 70-minute audio CD accompanies the book. |
| Synopsis: |
"War on the Home Front" takes you through the many facets of wartime Britain: from the Phoney War to the devastation of the Blitz; from the Home Guard and the Land Girls to the invasion of the Channel Islands and from evacuation and rationing to code-breaking and the eventual victory celebrations. With over 200 illustrations, it offers a unique perspective of the era through the inclusion of more than 30 newly researched facsimile documents, including: a Luftwaffe bombing map of the Royal Albert and King George V Docks; a map showing Operation Sealion - Hitler's plan to invade England; a handwritten letter describing one of the first air raids of the Blitz; and, posters, drawings, telegrams and leaflets from the time. |
