Waiting for war : Britain 1939-1940 - UK Icon 2019 - xiii, 370 p, 8 unnumbered pages of plates :
The commanding features of everyday life in 1939 - the blackout, gas-masks, air-raid shelters, evacuees, rationing and the profusion of often contradictory rules and regulations - seem bizarre almost to the point of farce. But they were real enough to those who had to live the experience. A compensating factor was the ability of the country to laugh at the absurdities of life under the shadow of the swastika. --
