Description: The 1940s took the country to the very brink of disaster in a war that was fought on the battlefields of Europe, Africa and elsewhere.

This is a visual record of a decade that took Britain to the very brink of disaster.
Synopsis: This title features almost 300 images from the Press Association's unique archive. It is a fascinating visual record of a decade that took Britain to the very brink of disaster. It is a beautiful gift idea on its own, or as part of this popular series. The "Britain in Pictures" series presents an important collection of images from the Press Association's unique archive, most of which have lain unseen since they were first used in the newspapers of their day. The 1940s took the country to the very brink of disaster in a war that was fought as much in its towns and villages, as on the battlefields of Europe, Africa and elsewhere. Against all the odds the enemy was defeated, leaving the nation victorious but facing severe challenges in its post-war years, leading to an extraordinary period of social reform.
