"Rehabilitating Dad's Army: Britain's Secret Defenses" by Andrew Chatterton explores the often overlooked and misunderstood contributions of the civilian volunteers who defended Britain during World War II. Chatterton focuses on three secret organizations within the Home Guard: the Auxiliary Units, the Special Duties Branch, and Section VII. These groups were involved in anti-invasion efforts, sabotage, intelligence gathering, and even assassination. Chatterton's book provides new insights and challenges the comedic portrayal of the Home Guard in the popular television series "Dad's Army." While not groundbreaking, the book serves as a useful introduction to the topic and a starting point for further research. [Extracted from the article] |
