More than 2 million men were conscripted to serve in Britain's armed forces during the period of National Service, which began after the Second World War & was phased out by 1963. Using accounts & official documents, these times are described in this informative account of the National Service years. ...

Permission to speak, Sah! In the aftermath of the Second World War, over two million men were conscripted to serve in Britain's armed services. Some were sent abroad & watched their friends die in combat. Others remained in barracks & painted coal white. But despite delivering such varied experiences, National Service helped to shape the outlook of an entire generation of young British males. Historian Dr Colin Shindler has interviewed a wide range of ex-conscripts, from all backgrounds, across all ranks, & spanning the entire fourteen years that peacetime conscription lasted, & captured their memories in this engrossing book. From them, we experience the tension of a postwar Berlin surrounded by Russians, the exotic heat & colour of Tripoli in 1948, the brief but intense flashpoint of the Suez Crisis, & the fear of the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya. But we also hear about the other end of the scale, the conscripts who didn't make it outside the confines of their barracks, or in one case, beyond his home town. Through these conversations we learn as much about the changing attitudes of servicemen as war became more of a distant memory as we do about the varied nature of their experiences. We see, too, the changing face of British society across these pivotal years, which span everything from the coronation of Elizabeth II, to the birth of rock 'n' roll, to the beginning of the end of the Empire. The stories within these pages are fascinating. & they deserve to be told before they are lost forever. ...
