Maybe it's because I'm a foreigner (U.S.), but I had no idea how all-out the all-out effort to win the war really was. This book is fascinating, full of recipes, tips, and ads from the times, plus memories of those who were there. You get some idea of what it was like cook with hardly any food, wash with hardly any soap, and all this, perhaps, after a long day of factory work and standing in queues. This is about women in wartime--a bit of good, a bit of bad, a lot of stuff that really gives you a feel for life in that hard, hard time, and yet it's not depressing. But I'm glad I missed the war!
