Synopsis
Minutely detailed, accurate, skilfully marshalled and engagingly written, it is quite the best social chronicle of the period I have read.' SpectatorAn immense and impressive assembly-Must surely remain an invaluable essay in the remembrance of things past. - TimesSuperbly detailed and illustrated. From stirrup pumps to Spam, Norman Longmate's marvellously comprehensive panorama misses nothing. Excellent. - Sunday TelegraphA 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.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. - ObserverFor 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. - Times Literary Supplement
