Fighting for Britain?

"Fighting for Britain?" is a published collection that examines the negotiation of national, geographical, and cultural identities during World War II in the individual countries of the United Kingdom. Through an approach that considers the four nations, the work contributes to a deeper understanding of how pluralistic identities within the multinational state of Great Britain shaped the concept of Britishness during the conflict. It explores how Wales, Scotland, and England related to this overarching concept and how the relationships between Great Britain and the island of Ireland were structured. The book looks at war-torn Britain as both a place of cultural confrontation and a space of shared experiences, shedding light on what it meant to fight for Britain, both for members of the British armed forces and for those who did not actively fight.
