Description: "During the Second World War, British children were spared the humiliation and fear of enemy occupation. None the less, they endured six years of increasing deprivation, uprootings, and long separations, and many experienced both physical and psychological suffering. This book presents an oral history of the war as seen from a child's perspective"--Publisher's description.
