In praise of the book, Hugh Cunningham, celebrated author of The Invention of Childhood, wrote: 'Think of children and the Second World War, and evacuation comes immediately to mind. Berry Mayall and Virginia Morrow have a different story to tell, one in which all the children of the nation were encouraged to contribute to the war effort. Many responded enthusiastically. Evidence from school magazines and oral testimony shows children digging for victory, working on farms, knitting comforts for the troops, collecting waste for recycling, running households. What lessons, the authors ask, does this wartime participation by children have for our own time? The answers are challenging.' 517 $aYou Can Help Your Country 606 $aWar wounds 615 0$aWar wounds. 676 $a531.55 700 $aMayall$b Berry$0849402 702 $aMorrow$b Virginia 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512206403321 996 $aYou can help your country$92996571 997 $aUNINA
