While there are many books published about WW2, there are very few related to 'The Home Front' and even fewer published about the valuable war work, which went on in factories up and down the country.
It is important to record this unique period, when ordinary folk worked unceasingly for long hours contributing to the war effort and in this book, Charles Exton had recounted his memories of those dark days of WW2, which to many people are already history.
The book eloquently describes the day-to-day trials and tribulations of the staff, the majority of whom were directed to work in one such factory and the effect this had on their lives working hidden away inside a country house near to a sleepy country town in north Wiltshire where unknown to even the majority of the people working there 'top secret' airborne radar was developed and manufactured throughout the war.
All in all, a good read about a valuable part of our heritage. I highly recommend this book to all people interested in knowing 'how people lived and worked during WW2'.
