How We Lived Then
Author(s): Norman Longmate
'An immense and impressive assembly-Must surely remain an invaluable essay in the remembrance of things past.'The Times 'Superbly detailed and illustrated-From stirrup pumps to Spam, Norman Longmate's marvellously comprehensive panorama misses nothing-Excellent.' Sunday Telegraph 'A landmine of information covering every field of civilian life in wartime from the grandeurs of the blitz to the miseries of dried eggs and the six-inch bath.' Cyril Connolly 'Much of it is extremely interesting; some of it is fascinatingly out-of-the-way; and all of it contributes to building up a true picture of everyday life in England from September 1939 to August 1945.' Observer 'For those who lived through those wartime years, How We Lived Then will be not merely a refreshment of memory-but also an enlargement of experience; how other people we did not meet lived then.'
