"'Hints for the Home Guard' was issued in 1940, to Britons facing the very real posisibility of invasion by the Nazis.  Explaining to untrained and often elderly recruits how best to subdue suspicious visitors and most effectively defend a village, what to wear on patrol and how reliably to spot a German parachutist, this volume would have sat proudly at the bedsides of the real Dad's Army"--Page 4 of cover.
