Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Told through the previously unheard voices of those who participated in the 'Mass Observation' project, this is a powerful, detailed and warming story of WWII from the home front. For 6 years the people of Britain endured bombs and the threat of invasion, and over 140,000 civilians were killed or seriously wounded. The project was set up in the 1930s, and the volunteer diarists were of almost every age, class and occupation. For fans of "Nella Last's War" and "Austerity Britain". '...these diaries truly speak for Britain.' Philip Ziegler
