Don't You Know There's A War On?
Words and Phrases from the World Wars
Sinopsis
Nigel Rees presents a nostalgic and witty guide to wartime catchphrases, from the now ubiquitous Keep Calm and Carry On to lesser-known gems such as lions led by donkeys.
Following his hugely popular survey of domestic sayings, More Tea Vicar?, Rees returns with a witty and fascinating examination of the catchphrases that saw us through wartime Britain and are still relevant in times of crisis today.
Including domestic phrases of the time, propaganda, and slang developed by soldiers abroad, the book describes the provenance and development of these intriguing, quirky and sometimes crude phrases that were born out of times of conflict and have in many cases become part of our language.
