"During the Second World War, British children endured six years of increasing deprivation, uprootings and long separations from their families. They witnessed and endured intense air raids, attacked by both conventional bombs and the new terror weapons of V1s and V2s. Many were exposed to both physical and psychological suffering and at a very young age were forced to cope with the loss of friends and family." "Using personal accounts from the Imperial War Museum's Sound and Document Archives, Young Voices takes us beyond the home front and provides an insight into the lives of British children around the world during the Second World War."--BOOK JACKET.
