''A brilliant history: The first serious and really wide-ranging history of the Home Front during the Great War for decades. Scholarly, objective and extremely well-written. Filled with surprising revelations and empathy. Heffer-s eye for the telling detail is evident on almost every page. A remarkable intellectual and literary achievement.'' - ANDREW ROBERTS, TELEGRAPH

A major new work of history on the profound changes in British society during the First World War
The Great War saw millions of men volunteer for or be recruited into the Army, their lives either cut short or overturned. Women were bereaved, enlisted to work in agriculture, government and engineering, yet still expected to hold together homes and families. But while the conflict caused social, economic and political devastation, it also provoked revolutionary change on the home front.
