| Annotation | It is important that the achievements of Home Front veterans are commemorated at the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. This book presents a selection from interviews carried out as part of the Voices Recall project in 2005. More than 70 people were interviewed, the main focus being working lives and trade union experiences during the war. The extracts included are representative of regions visited and the sectors in which people worked. Articles by five leading experts on the Home Front provide a context for this oral history. Some of the material is being showcased in the exhibition Production Front! at the annual Parliament of the National Pensioners Convention (NPC) in June, at the 60th anniversary events in London in July, and at the TUC Conference in September 2005. The full interviews will appear on the TUC Library Collections website, Voices from the Workers War: Home Front Recalled (www.unionhistory.info). (RH). |
