Using eyewitness accounts, diaries and official records, this fully revised and expanded fourth edition tells the story of local people and those who were stationed in Kew in the Second World War.

Despite its relatively small size, Kew played a significant part in the war effort. American soldiers, who made the maps that helped the Allies’ D-Day landings, were based at a camp where The National Archives is now. After the Americans left, it housed Italian prisoners of war.
