For nearly thirty-five years, Angus Calder’s
The People’s
War
(1969) has stood as the definitive social history of Britain in wartime. Only Juliet Gardiner’s
Wartime
Britain
(2005) comes close to providing a recent work that can stand with it. Both were indispensable in my writing of the historical background in this book.
