Village That Died for England : The Strange Story of Tyneham Paperback / softback
by Patrick Wright
Paperback / softback
Description
Tyneham is the archetypal "lost village": a Dorset hamlet in a beautiful valley, evacuated to make a training area during World War II and never returned to its inhabitants despite Churchill's pledge of restitution.
It has lurked in the national imagination ever since; the symbol of a vanished England.
This study is a subtle parable about the politics of landscape and a masterpiece of English irony.
The Faber edition has been revised to take into account material that has come to light and includes many additional illustrations.
