Description
Drawing from first-hand interviews, diaries and memoirs of those involved in the VE Day celebrations in 1945, VE Day: The People's Story paints an enthralling picture of a day that marked the end of the war in Europe and the beginning of a new era.
VE Day affected millions of people in countless ways, and the voices in this book - from both Britain and abroad, from civilians and service men and women, from the famous and the not-so-famous - provide a valuable social picture of the times. Mixed with humour as well as tragedy, rejoicing as well as sadness, regrets of the past and hopes for the future, VE Day: The People's Story is an inspiring record of one of the great turning points in history.
