This book uses a range of newspaper articles written during the Second World War to look at events on the home front in Britain. Topics include women's work, the Blitz, rationing, the home guard and propaganda. Each newspaper article is accompanied by text which sets it in historical context, as well as an evaluation box which will discuss the article in terms of its usefulness as a piece of historical evidence.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'The evaluation of each newspaper report as an historical document here makes these books useful tools for early to mid-teens getting into the swing of appraising the information presented to them in a critical and objective manner.' -- Evening Echo 20030201 'There is a wealth of information in this book which is fascinating... The format is well regulated and accessible... This would be a useful resource in any school library.' -- School Library Journal 20030703
