Publisher's Synopsis
World War II is known as the people's war and for a just reason - young or old, male or female, everyone played a part in what would turn out to be a life changing event for British people.
Women played an important part in the war and many of the changes that came about at this time affected the role of women in British/European society today; children were sent away from the inner cities, some never seeing their parents again, and young men, many still in their teenage years, were fighting on the front line both at home and overseas.
THE COMPLETE WAR YEARS takes a pictorial look at life in Britain in war time, from the training of the Home Guard, the changing role of women and the evacuation process to the relief of final victory.
