## Description

Spuds, Spam and Eating for Victory: Rationing In The Second World War : Knight, Katherine: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Unexpectedly fascinating - I picked this book up on a whim in the Imperial War Museum bookshop after a visit to see a poster exhibition. I intended to have a quick browse then give it to my elderly Aunt - but it has turned out to be fascinating, a real glimpse into the minutiae of daily home life during the wartime. Most history focuses on soldiers and the big events, what is great about this book is it lets you get an understanding of what an average day back then must have been like. It is written in a chatty style, mixing facts with recollections, that just really brings it to life. This would be a great quirky present not just for people who are interested in old style cooking or the history of a few generations back, but also for anyone who has an allotment since "dig for victory" and growing your own vegies was a big part of life back then.
Review: 💯 - Great historic read
