Home Guard

Auteur: MacKenzie, S. P. (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, University of South Carolina, Columbia)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
Today we laugh at `Dad's Army', but in 1940 the threat of a German invasion of Britain was a very real one. S. P. MacKenzie's detailed and readable history of the Home Guard offers a new perspective on the men who took up the challenge. The book shows how the Home Guard, often as large as the wartime army, became an astonishingly strong political force in its own right.
