Freeman, R.A. Britain at War 1990

To describe this book as a 'scrapbook' is oversimplifying it rather a lot! There is a lot of good quality text also within this work, although the information is not referenced! The book IS aimed at the younger reader, or those with a general interest, and is well illustrated with many well-known (and not so well known) black and white photographs.

The book deals with life on the Home Front during the Second World War, maintaining a chronological layout as far as possible, but much of the 'Home Front' wartime life was 'ongoing' and therefore there are thematic chapters devoted to rationing, salvage, to life on the land, entertainment, all the while promoting the 'Blitz spirit'.

A good book for schools!}
