Description
Wales played a vital role in the British response to World War II, and this comprehensive study explores its impact on Wales itself. From military training and public entertainment to hosting secretive weapons programs and housing 110,000 child evacuees, Wales contributed significantly to the war effort. The book examines the experience of every part of the population present in Wales during the war, including politicians, civil servants, civilians, miners, steelworkers, farmers, factory workers, entertainers, local children, host families, and evacuees. It also looks at the legacy of the conflict on Wales after the war. The relationship between the Welsh people and English authorities was sometimes strained, affecting the role of film, radio, and the arts in propaganda directed to audiences in the home. This study provides a detailed account of Wales' involvement in World War II, shedding light on a period often overlooked in historical narratives.
