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'. Including domestic phrases of the time, propaganda, and slang developed by soldiers abroad, it describes the provenance and notable uses of familiar phrases.
