Wednesday, December 10, 1941"Hitler speaks to Reichstag tomorrow. We just heard the first casualty lists over the radio. ... Lots of boys from Michigan and Illinois. Oh my God! ... Life goes on though. We read our books in the library and eat lunch, bridge, etc. Phy. Sci. and Calculus. Darn Descartes. Reading Walt Whitman now."

Richard Brown kept a personal diary throughout the whole of the Second World War. He used it to record the course of the conflict as he perceived it, gleaned from the newspapers, the wireless and hearsay. As well as describing the development of the war, Brown captured a vivid image of life in wartime Britain, with rationing, blackout restrictions, interrupted sleep, the prospect of evacuation and the enormous burden placed on civilians coping with a full-time job as well as war work. Richard Brown was a well-informed man who made his own judgements. His attitude to the war is fascinating, as he never doubts ultimate victory, despite being impatient and critical of the conduct of the war. His observations range from the pithy to the humorous and scathing. Above all, his diaries reflect the moral and social attitudes of the period, and the desire to be fully involved in the war effort. They also totally refute the argument that the British public were kept in the dark.

In the middle of the most destructive conflict in human history, the Second World War, almost 40,000 Germans civilians and prisoners of war were detained in internment and work camps across Canada. Prisoners of the Home Front details the organization and day-to-day affairs of these internment camps and reveals the experience of their inmates. Auger concludes that Canada abided by the Geneva Convention; its treatment of German prisoners was humane. This book sheds light on life behind barbed wire, filling an important void in our knowledge of the Canadian home front during the Second World War.

In January of 1944, the United States is fighting a war on two fronts-Europe and Asia-as eighteen-year-old Vee Hammontree bravely traveles from Missouri to Idaho where she intends to marry her high-school sweetheart. Both her fiance, Robert, and her older brother, Eugene, have enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in the hopes of saving the world from tyranny. While the U.S. troops are fighting oversees, Vee resolves to contribute to the war effort by joining the workforce at Pratt&Whitney to build airplane engines-something that could help ensure the survival of both her husband and her brother. Like others on the home front, she becomes a woman laborer, works to boost morale for the ones who are serving, and makes the ultimate sacrifice-losing one of her own. Home Front weaves together two true stories of sacrifice-one gleaned from Vee's personal diaries of the 1940s, the other through letters home from the war.
