West at War

This book tells a new, often disturbing tale of what really happened in those terrible, exciting years 1939 - 1945... the bungling, the panic, the censorship, the shortages. And, not least, the courage, the comradeship and the resolve to win.

The book focuses on the traumas and privations of the blitzes on Bristol, and on Bath, Weston-super-Mare and surrounding towns and villages - and extending to Gloucestershire and Somerset. It also covers the evacuation of children, the recruitment of women into war work and the coming of the GIs.
