Focusing on the British wartime evacuation of around 4 million individuals, primarily children, the book explores the profound impact this mass relocation had on social life during World War II. It delves into the experiences of those evacuated and the changes in community dynamics, offering a scholarly analysis of the challenges and adaptations faced by both evacuees and those in receiving areas. First published in 1985, it provides a historical perspective on a significant yet often overlooked aspect of wartime Britain.
