Creating the People's War : Civil Defence Communities in Second World War Britain

Civil defence was the most significant voluntary organisation of the Second World War. It involved men and women of every class, generation and locality in Britain. This book examines how civil defence personnel developed local workplace communities, engaged with ideas about civil duty, and helped to create the myth of the 'people's war'. -- .
