Hastings Wartime Memories and Photographs

By: Nathan Dylan Goodwin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Hastings Wartime Memories and Photographs weaves the personal stories of 75 people who endured life in Hastings during the Home Front war years with more than 140 photographs, the majority of which have never been published before. It describes the dramatic and turbulent way in which a peaceful seaside resort quickly became a town in grave danger of enemy attack, whose residents had to adapt very rapidly in order to cope with the numerous problems that now faced them. The book delves into the lives of ordinary men, women and children, as well as the soldiers and evacuees who made Hastings their home at the time and so lived with the constant fear of invasion, and provides a detailed and colourful account of life on the front line.

This is the second book in Nathan Dylan Goodwin's historical non-fiction wartime series based on Hastings, inspired by the success of the first instalment in Hastings at War, 1939 - 1945.
