Description

Explore the social and political impact of British conscription with National Service Life Stories from Oxford University Press. This historical study examines the experiences of the 2.3 million young men called up for service between the end of World War Two and 1963. While national service was quickly forgotten by many, this book uses original oral interviews with over one hundred men to recover these lost memories. It investigates how compulsory military participation shaped masculinity and class in post-war Britain. By looking at the long-term influence of the draft, this work provides a new perspective on a defining era of British history that professional historians have often overlooked.
