Young People and Their Schools in Britain in the Second World War

Beschreibung

This book shows Britain's youngsters adapting to the conditions of the Second World War, with many of their schools fulfilling military roles. They endured physical danger from bombing and disease; worked in industry and agriculture; served in the Home Guard and ARP; volunteered in health and welfare; and prepared for military service as cadets.

Autor

Dr Mike Osborne's interest in fortification began with childhood visits to castles, and has developed over the years to include all aspects of the topic, from Iron-Age forts to Cold War bunkers. He was a volunteer-coordinator for the Defence of Britain Project, recording the military structures of the twentieth-century, and, after a thirty-year-career in education, took early retirement. Since then, he has produced nearly twenty books on topics that range from Civil War sieges and fortifications, to drill halls and twentieth-century military structures. He has also written a series of county surveys of defences, as well as the best-selling Defending Britain.
