Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In IMAGINATION AT WAR Adam Piette looks at the two faces of British wartime culture from 1939-1945. Behind the theatrical facade of public nostalgia and glorification he finds the private experience of the war to be disjointed, complex and a dark one where the British imagination reveals a broken and disaffected world where the war is seen as unreal and remote.
