PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by W. Cropper (Author)
This is a vivid account of how the second World War affected a typical working class family in Salford's slums. You will read about the splitting up of the community by the evacuation of the children and the absence of the men who were at war; running for shelter while the streets were bombed and sprayed with bullets; fear of what the children were up to as they scavenged in the ruins of the bombed houses; women trying to cope in impossible conditions. The ensuing account of workaday life in Britain is equally fascinating and full of humorous anecdotes. About the author: The author is a working class building trade worker who could see the humorous side of most situations in his working life and decided to keep a record of the incidents that made up a typical history of his trade and the people who worked in it.
