About this title

From the Author

Cardiff in the Second World War
Sixty years have passed since the Second World War began but the story of Cardiff and its people in those eventful times still has a fascination for everyone interested in the history of the city. The role of the docks and the factories of Cardiff, the response to the threat of invasion in 1940, the blitz, and the American presence in South Wales, are among the obvious themes which are considered in such a history.

Yet above all this was a people's war. What effect did the sleepless nights and dangers of the blitz have on their morale? How did they come to terms with the problems of rationing and wartime shortages? What was the contribution of women to the war effort? How were the lives of children changed by the war? How did Cardiff celebrate when victory was at last achieved? All of these topics and many others are explored in the 160 pages of this book which is illustrated with more than a hundred photographs, some of them appearing in print for the first time.
