Between 1939 and 1946, the Ministry of Information bombarded the British people with paper, encouragement and instruction. Ranging from propaganda posters to official documents, the material gathered together in 'This is Your War' shows how clumsy attempts at raising home morale were later replaced by a professional information service. The many illustrations show this transition at work, and also give a vivid picture of conditions of life in Britain during the war years. Complete with a chronology and a guide to the documents held in the Public Record Office, it will be of great value to teachers of history and social studies, as well as to the general reader.
