Back in Blighty : the British at home in World War One
De Groot, Gerard J., 1955-2014
Book
World War One had a devastating, cataclysmic impact on the world and the British people. As its reverberations were so long-lasting and significant, it is easy to assume that the social consequences were as profound. In this readable and moving survey of life back at home during the First World War, Gerard deGroot challenges this assumption, finding pre-war social structures and ways of life were surprisingly resilient. Despite economic and technological changes, the British people found ways to cling onto their usual ways of life as much as possible in this new world.
