Other editions of book Home Front

The Second World War is coming to your town. Are you ready to face it? How will you behave when your home is bombed or foreign soldiers march into your town? It doesn't matter how old you are - everyone's at war. You don't have to put on a uniform or go to the front to join the battle - you can stay at home and still take part. That's why it's called the Home Front.As war rolls across Europe, young people in Britain, France, Poland, Russia and Germany are forced to answer the same questions: How brave am I? Will I betray my family? Am I capable of killing someone? Am I willing to sacrifice my life for my country? 'Home Front' tells their stories.

In the Second World War everyone was on the front line. No one was too young to fight and you didn't even have to leave home. That's why it was called the Home Front. The war came to you. Young people found their homes bombed and their countries occupied by foreign armies. Home Front tells how the war turned them into evacuees, resistance fighters, fugitives and heroes.
