About this product

Product Information

This book will feature the design, creation and use of air raid shelters, including interviews with people who used them during the Second World War. The book will contain the different types of bunkers/air raid shelters (both public and in people's gardens) and discuss the strength and weakness of their designs, using original designs and primary material. The nostalgia/social history of the book will cover people's experiences of staying in the air raid shelters. These will be divided into topics to include getting to the shelters (how they reacted to the sirens or whether they just moved into the shelters, especially those in gardens, long-term), facilities, health issues, morale and safety, both real and perceived. In recent years, air raid shelters have been converted into different uses, including homes and the book will finish with a brief chapter concerning the future and preservation of these once vital buildings. AUTHOR: Stephen Wade is a military and crime history specialist. A writer-in-residence at several prisons, his recent books include DNA Investigations and Tracing Your Criminal Ancestors. He has also written about military intelligence in the Zulu War, Spies in the Empire and Queen Victoria's Spymaster. Stephen reviews books for Times Higher Education. SELLING POINTS: . Air Raid shelter design, including public shelters and Anderson air raid shelters in people's gardens . Original personal experiences from people who used them during air raids, many recorded here for the first time . Fascinating wartime social history ILLUSTRATIONS: 120-150 b/w illustrations *
