The Home Front in the Great War: Aspects of the Conflicts 1914-1918 Kindle Edition

by David Bilton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
In an overdue attempt to portray the real effect of the war on life at home, David Bilton examines all the major events of the period and charts their effect on everyday life for those trying to live a normal existence. Extensive use is made of personal accounts and the author draws on many photographs, newspaper and magazine material and ephemera to make this very informative and atmospheric.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"covers the British home front and the Hull area in detail. There is a chronological section at the beginning that provides an overview of events back in “Blighty,” followed by short essays on the efforts by groups from the Royals to the YMCA to support of the war effort. The report on the Boy Scouts is especially laudatory... a good variety of images and entertaining to read."
World War One Illustrated

About the Author

David Bilton is a retired teacher who spends his time looking after his family, working as a University lecturer and researching the Great War. He is the prolific author of numerous books about the British Army, the Home Front and the German Army. His first book, The Hull Pals, became the BBC 2 series The Trench. Since he started writing he has contributed to many television and radio programmes. His interest in the Great War was ignited by his grandfather's refusal to talk about his experiences in Gallipoli and on the Western Front.

    Somewhat superficial does not go into any thing in much depth. Section on Hull quite interesting but the last part of the final section was tedious and lacked personal insights. There are much more interesting books on the Home Front available.
