Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
This is the story of the men, women and children at home during the second world war, and their reponse to the extraordinary demands made on them by circumstances of war. It is the story of individuals and collective efforts – of shortages and rationing, of long hours of hard work, of time given freely in voluntary labour, and of a cheerful acceptance of the ever-present jingle of collection boxes. It is the story of the women who enlisted in the workforce in greater numbers than ever before, and of the stern directives of ‘the Manpower’. It is also the story of increased attendances at sport and entertainments, and record betting takings.
