Description

xvi, 320 pages. Footnotes, bibliography and index. Two fold-out maps. Profusely illustrated with quality black and white reproductions of archival photos. "Reveals the profound impact that the years of WWII had on the city's inhabitants, thrown into a conflect where the 'home front' was also the 'war front.' Weaving together interviews with residents who lived through the upheaval as well as archival material, this collection reconstructs the memories of people coping with extraordinary circumstances." - dust jacket. "This original and highly readable study of an international city at war greatly expands what we know about the home front during the Second World War as well as Canadian-Newfoundland relations." - dust jacket. Printed upon glossy stock. Clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. An excellent copy of this fascinating work. Book
