Description

Book Synopsis
This is a study of domestic life during the war, of what people on the home front did to support men at the front, and of how soldiers in trenches organised the routines of feeding, rest, warmth, washing, that ensured their survival.

Trade Review
Roper has not only written a highly readable, riveting account of certain emotions at war, but has also contributed something very new to the history of warfare generally. There is simply nothing else like this book currently in the field. It will serve as a model upon which further research is conducted.' -- .
