Description:
Keeping the Home Fires Burning tells the story of how the troops and the general public were kept happy and content during the Great War. 

Between 1914 and 1918 there was entertainment of the masses for the sole purpose of promotion of the war effort. 

It was the first time that a concerted effort to raise and sustain morale was ever made by any British or Commonwealth government and was a combination of government sponsored ideas and lucky happenstance. 

It was all picked up and used by the newly formed Propaganda Ministries in varied countries and governments across the whole of the British Empire. 

The range of activities was wide and varied, from poetry to cinema, from music hall singers and artists to the creation of battlefield heroes. 

There was postcard humour and deliberate veneration of philanthropists - and war participants - like 'Woodbine Willie'.

The theme of Keeping the Home Fires Burning is backed up by 40 illustrations from the time, including participants, posters, battlefield views and so on.

Phil Carradice is a poet, novelist and historian who has published over 80 books. 

The most recent of these publications are 'Hitler and His Women' and 'A Hundred Years of Spying' (both for Pen & Sword books). 

He broadcasts regularly on TV and radio, presents the BBC Radio Wales programme The Past Master and He is a renowned teacher and tutor of creative writing.

He lives and works in Wales.
