Go To It! reveals that "there was often as much sweat, sometimes as much blood, and even more frequently as many tears, on the Home Front as on the fighting fronts". The role of women--often dirty and dangerous--features prominently, although young men, children and the older generation are not ignored. Ten succinct chapters discuss munitions, food, coal, transport and textiles, describing the part played by a wide variety of activities from music to mining. Although not meant to be "an economic nor a social analysis", Briggs' book, accompanying an Imperial War Museum exhibition, is more than a well-balanced description of ordinary people's experiences, for it indicates how British society has been markedly influenced by a war partly fought at home. Asa Briggs has produced a volume that is both highly palatable and educational. Go To It! is thoughtful and full of interest, delivering some significant and fascinating insights. --Karen Tiley
