In World War II the adult population of Britain was mobilised to take part in the war effort to a greater degree than any other Western nation - far more than in Nazi Germany, for instance - and the intensity of the civilian experience was correspondingly great Before the United States entered the war, almost as many British civilians had been killed by enemy bombs as US troops would be lost in the Vietnam War. This book examines services such as the Auxiliary Fire Service, the Air Raid Precautions, the Women's Voluntary Service, and the Women's Land Army.
