'An immense and impressive assembly ... Must surely remain an invaluable essay in the remembrance of things past.' The Times'Superbly detailed and illustrated ... From stirrup pumps to Spam, Norman Longmate's marvellously comprehensive panorama missesnothing ... Excellent.' Sunday Telegraph'A landmine of information covering every field of civilian life in wartime from the grandeurs of the blitz to the miseries of dried eggs and the six-inch bath.' Cyril Connolly'Much of it is extremely interesting; some of it is fascinatingly out-of-the-way; and all of it contributes to building up a true picture of everyday life in England from September 1939 to August 1945.' Observer'For those who lived through those wartime years, How We Lived Then will be not merely a refreshment of memory, ..but also an enlargement of experience; how other people we did not meet lived then.' Times Literary Supplement

A landmine of information covering every field of civilian life in wartime from the grandeurs of the blitz to the miseries of dried eggs and the six-inch bath -- Cyril Connolly
Much of it is extremely interesting; some of it is fascinatingly out-of-the-way; and all of it contributes to building up a true picture of everyday life in England from September 1939 to August 1945 * Observer *
Mr Longmate has recruited an enormous volunteer army of home-front veterans who sent him their wartime recollections... He has brilliantly sifted and assembled the precious debris * Guardian *
