All Quiet on the Home Front: An Oral History of Life in Britain during the First World War - Softcover
Synopsis
The truth about the sacrifice and suffering on the home front in Britain during the First World War has never been told.
In this book some of the oldest men and women in the country speak for the first time about experiences and events that have remained buried for 85 years. Their testimony shows the same candour and courage we have become accustomed to hear from veterans of the western front.
Those interviewed include a survivor of a Zeppelin raid on Hull in 1915, a Welsh munitions worker recruited as a girl and a woman rescued from a bombed school after five days. There are also accounts of rural famine, bereavement and the effects on families back home, and even the story of a woman who planned to kill her family to save them further suffering.

Review
An important reminder of the emotional and psychological impact of war by the people who were there. (Guardian)
A classic piece of oral history bulging with facts that you kept feeling you should have known or guessed already - but which came as revelations all the same. (Daily Telegraph)
It is softly spoken, shocking and unfamiliar. (The Times)
