What is The Blitzed Brits about?

Step into Britain during the Second World War, when families faced blackouts, air raids and strict rationing. Discover how people coped with clothing coupons, food shortages, evacuation, gas masks and bomb shelters, while soldiers and civilians played their parts in the fight. Terry Deary serves up surprising facts, strange wartime inventions and grimly funny stories about everyday life on the Home Front. Packed with lively illustrations, jokes and memorable details, this book shows what it was really like to be a Blitzed Brit.
