Description

Norfolk at War 1939-45 by Stephen Browning is a comprehensive study of the county's role in both World Wars. This year-on-year account draws on previously unpublished material, offering a fresh perspective on Norfolk's pivotal position during these times of war. The impact of the USAAF bases and the arrival of Polish refugees are just two aspects of how Norfolk was transformed by the conflict. The book explores both the military events and the social changes that took place in the county, shedding light on the stoicism and humor of its residents during dark times. With a wealth of contemporary material from newspapers, diaries, and local records, as well as over 200 photographs, this study brings to life the story of Norfolk at war. By examining both home and overseas events, Browning provides a detailed account of Norfolk's experience during World War II.
