Drawing from first-hand interviews, diaries and memoirs of those
involved in the VE Day celebrations in 1945, VE DAY: The People's Story
paints an enthralling picture of a day that marked the end of the war in
Europe and the beginning of a new era. VE Day affected millions of
people in countless ways, and the voices in this book - from both
Britain and abroad, from civilians and service men and women, from the
famous and the not-so-famous - provide a valuable social picture of the
times. Mixed with humour as well as tragedy, rejoicing as well as
sadness, regrets of the past and hopes for the future, VE Day is an
inspiring record of one of the great turning points in history.
