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 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 notable uses of familiar phrases that we tend to trot out unthinkingly as a way of dealing with life's little difficulties and embarrassments.
