Description

Home Front Heroism: Civilians and Conflict in Second World War London explores how civilian bravery was recognized and celebrated during the war. Focusing on the London experience, this book examines how heroism was manufactured as citizens took on vital roles in production, protection, and defense. This work provides a new perspective on the study of heroism by looking at the spatial, material, corporeal, and ritualistic ways heroic representations were created. It traces how these representations were cultivated on a national level, examining the use of uniforms, medals, and the impact of civilian injuries and deaths. This title is an essential addition for readers interested in the social and cultural history of modern war and the urban history of London.
