Nicholas Webley | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

A vivid and evocative collection of eye witness acconts,
diaries, reportage and scraps of memory from men, women
and children who lived through the dark days of World War
II. Lavishly illustrated with newspaper pictures and
personal photos, the book shows what life was like for
millions of ordinary people throughout the war - men and
women in the services, those who stayed at home, children
billeted with strangers in the country and of course the
spirit and suffering of the Blitz. It brilliantly
captures the sights, smells, sounds and voices of the
country at war sixty years ago. The book ends with a rich
collection of recipes drawn from advertisements, scrap-
books and magazines of the time, providing a very literal
taste of wartime Britain.
