Posters and Propaganda In Wartime

“This is a great primary source book for teenagers and adults alike. It collects the most iconic wartime posters of the 20th century showing the British government’s changing priorities during each of the World Wars. It is beautifully produced in hard back and the poster images are so memorable that they make a great way of learning what was going on in each war. The book is spiced up with funny and moving quotations from people who lived during the war and survived it, which really help to bring the wartime experience to life.”
