Jambusters: The Story of the Women's Institute in the Second World War by Julie Summers

3.0

It was interesting to learn about the WI and their vital role during World World II. I was especially interested in the back story of how the WIs came to be in the first place. Who knew it had such a history! I found the book to be a little slow in some places, with a strong emphasis on numbers and statistics, which while helpful, can be a bit dry. Each chapter was sort of an essay in and of its own. I am often impressed with the way in which the people of Britain all worked together during the war, though I know it was not all perfect and there were issues. If only we could remember that attitude today.
