Notes
With the phrase "A land fit for heroes" in their ears, returning soldiers expected decent treatment and recognition for what they had done. They were, largely, disappointed, as the fine words were not matched by actions, with a lack of political will. This book tells how the "Lost Generation" adjusted to civilian life and coped with their own injuries and the struggle to find jobs.
