Our Longest Days: A People's History of the Second World War Book

2020 bk 164. Part of the Mass Observation Diaries collection, this book features on a number of Britains who lived in and around London for the most part. One young lady worked in the land army as a gardener, her sister did the books and worked in her family's garage/store. Other folks were retired, married, some employed in new war work, others in jobs they had most of their lives. Most adjusted to the rationed diet, limits they were asked to put on their lives. Reading this during our state's stay at home to gradual opening was very interesting, especially the parts about the gradual relighting of England after the war. I though it was a sudden, wars over, lights are on, but according to this, it was handled in a slow way. A very interesting read.
