A Working Class War
Tales From Two Families
Edited by Jess Steele
The Second World War was not an event but an era. It was a time when many people had to make hard choices and many more had no choices at all. For working class families this was not unusual. Survival continued to be the essential guide to life.
Two ordinary, working class families, on each side of a great river watched the docks go up in flames. Here they tell their stories and bring home to us the massive diversity of experience of that one war, half a century ago, which continues to fascinate us.
