This isn't a book or a movie, but I don't know where else to post it. With the December edition of BBC History magazine, they are giving away a CD entiled "The BBC at War 1939-1945: Extracts from the BBC's Wartime Archive". Theythen kind of contract themselves by starting with Chamberlain's "..a quarrel in a far-away country" broadcast of 27 September 1938.

This is an excellent archive Angie, it used to be available on a double CD and I used it regularly whilst guiding groups around London on Blitz Walks, I hope the Home Front Archives are included as I lent my original out and as ever it has been lost. Lots of comments by Ed Murrow and the Arnhem reports were superb. Buy it everyone, when I enquired at the IWM last week they had no plans to re release the original CD
