Description

Britain's Railways in the Second World War by Michael Foley is an in-depth account of the crucial role played by the railways during World War II. As the country faced unprecedented logistical challenges, including mass evacuations and troop transportations, the railway system proved to be an indispensable branch of the military. The 'Big Four' railway companies had to put aside their differences to work together seamlessly for the war effort, while also coping with the threat of aerial bombing and other military advances. This book sheds light on the often-forgotten stories of the brave men and women who worked on the railways, putting their lives at risk to keep the country's transport system running. A fascinating study of Britain's railway history during World War II, this book brings to life the important role played by the railways in defending the country and supporting Allied forces around the world.
