Britain's Black Community on the Home Front 1939-45
By Stephen Bourne
The History Press
Very little attention has been given to black British, West African and Caribbean citizens who lived and worked on the Home Front during the Second World War.
Stephen Bourne's new book Mother Country is the first to document their stories, taking the reader through the journey of some of the forgotten Black Britons whose contribution to the war effort has been overlooked until now.
