Written for her baby son, Georgina Lee’s diaries offer a comprehensive, day-by-day account of the First World War on the British Home Front. From the panic of August 1914 to the euphoria of 1919, Mrs. Lee faithfully recorded the war’s impact on civilian life, from the rush to hoard food and stock-market mayhem to conscription and air raids.
