About This Book
"This collection of fourteen, academically rigorous and accessible chapters explores the British Home Front in the last 100 years since the outbreak of WW1. The wide range of case studies include war widows allowances, Landgirls, the role of factory inspectors in WW1 and canal boat women, national savings, Guernsey evacuees and clothes rationing in WW2.

This volume is intended to encourage a reappraisal of the place of the Home Front in British conceptualisations of war and conflict"--
