The home front in the Great War : aspects of the conflict, 1914-1918

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "The Great War was the first in our history to have a deep impact on every aspect of civilian life. In an overdue attempt to portray the real effect of the War on life at home, David Bilton examines all the major events of the period and charts their effect on everyday life for those trying to live a normal existence. Examples are the air raids by Zeppelins and aircraft, rationing and shortages, recruitment, changes in employment habits, censorship.

    Extensive use is made of personal accounts and the author draws on many photographs, newspaper and magazine material and ephemera."--Back cover.
