This series examines what life was like for people in Britain during World War II. Each title takes a different aspect of civilian life and looks at its dangers, difficulties and pleasures. Much of the story is told by eye-witness accounts. This book explains what propaganda is and describes how it was used to encourage the war effort on the home fronts. During the World War II, governments used many types of propaganda from posters, radio and films to leafletting and "whispering campaigns". This book explains how both Allied and Axis governments organized all the different kinds of propaganda and examines how successful some of the campaigns were. Eye-witness accounts help to convey the reactions of ordinary people to the propaganda which surrounded them. Fiona Reynoldson has written "War At Home", "War in Europe", "War in the Far East" and "The First World War 1914-1918".
