Graham Greene's description of a practice air-raid drill
Young Jo Grimond asks in 1939 what we are fighting for
Julian Huxley chases escaped zebras in London during the Blitz
Rose Macauley loses her library to a bomb
Harold Nicolson in 1941 writes confidently of the Nazis' inevitable doom;
Colin Welch, Iain MacLeod and a German general remember D-Day;
William Deedes and many others recall VE day;
the Beveridge Report offers hope for a bright future;
Louis Macniece, Stephen Spender, Norman Nicolson and Freya Stark offer their views of the war;
Siegfried Sassoon writes on what to read in the war;
Richard Hillary writes on art and the war;
Osbert Lancaster on Christmas in wartime Greece etc.
The book concludes with a section of pen portraits of some of the war's leading figures, including Hitler, Mussolini, Goebbels, Hess, Churchill and Montgomery.
