We'll Meet Again: A Personal and Social Memory of World War Two (1989) By Vera Lynn
 
This book is Vera Lynn's memoir of life at home during the war: it's not about the war zones and battles abroad, it's about how the war affected every aspect of day-to-day existence in Britain, from the child who was rescued from the rubble during the Blitz to how Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose coped with their privations. Memoires of rationing, make-and make-do and evacuation are detailed. Popular songs and shows, family entertainment in the black-outs, the roles that women took during the conflict, how life went on as normally as possible - even if the cosmetics were home-made, the marzipan was really mashed potato and the black market prospered - are also relied with the humour and warmth that personifies Vera Lynn to this day. Marvelously anecdotal and breathakingly illustrated throughout, this book is a book that will instantly evoke the smell and feel of the war years for anyone who endured them, and which will explain much about the Home Front for those too young to remember.
