Britain at War

The 20th century saw Britain participate in many armed conflicts, from the First and Second World Wars to the two Gulf Wars, and encompassing wars in Korea, Suez and the Falklands. This book focuses on the impact of these events in the streets and homes of Britain, as they affected ordinary people. Made possible by a unique collection of photographs, this vision of a nation in times of war is sometimes stirring, sometimes saddening, but entirely compelling.
