A Guardian Best Book of the Year 2014 11pm, Tuesday 4 August 1914: with the declaration of war London becomes one of the greatest killing machines in human history. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers pass through the capital on their way to the front; wounded men are brought back to be treated in London`s hospitals; & millions of shells are produced in its factories. The war changes London life for ever. Women escape the drudgery of domestic service to work as munitionettes. Full employment puts money into the pockets of the London poor for the first time. Self-appointed moral guardians seize the chance to clamp down on drink, frivolous entertainment & licentious behaviour. As the war drags on, gloom often descends on the capital. & at night London is plunged into darkness for fear of German bombers & Zeppelins that continue to raid the city. Yet despite daily casualty lists, food shortages & enemy bombing, Londoners are determined to get on with their lives & flock to cinemas & theatres, dance halls & shebeens, firmly resolved not to let Germans or puritans spoil their enjoyment. Peopled with patriots & pacifists, clergymen & thieves, bluestockings & prostitutes, Jerry White`s magnificent panorama reveals a struggling yet flourishing city. ...
