Home Guard by Philip Steele
This is a fascinating read, consisting of the stories of five contributors - men who were in the Home Guard during World War II. Together with information on why the Home Guard was set up, the book provides details on the work the volunteers were expected to do - from guarding gasworks and military installations, to locating and capturing enemy pilots whose aircraft had been shot down. It takes an intriguing look at the way of life experienced by real people in wartime Britain. It is complete with colour and previously unpublished black and white photographs, a glossary and index.
This series is a refreshingly different approach among the huge number of texts on the market covering the Second World War-- TES 20031114
