When Britain declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, Cardiff and its surroundings, like every other city, town, hamlet and village in the country, sent forth large numbers of young men to fight against the oppression of Hitler and the Nazis.

When Britain declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, Cardiff and its surroundings, like every other city, town, hamlet and village in the country, sent forth large numbers of young men to fight against the oppression of Hitler and the Nazis. This is a story not only of the war itself, but of the way war affected those far away from the battlefields, and of how a nation stood together in the face of a seemingly unstoppable force.The book pays particular attention to the way Welsh society changed during the war years, far reaching changes that are still felt in the country today. The book details the enormity of the human sacrifice paid by the people of Cardiff and its surrounding areas, but also contains many examples of the way ordinary people stood proud, defiant in their determination to bring about the downfall of the Nazis. Lavishly illustrated with over fifty original and modern-day photographs, this book is essential reading for anyone interest in military and social history.

Welsh author Gary Dobbs is best known as a fiction writer. Using the pen name Jack Martin, he is responsible for a string of best-selling western novels as well as the popular crime series, Granny Smith. The latter published under his own name.

Cardiff and the Valleys At War, is his third major non-fiction work following the successful Cardiff and the Valleys in the Great War and Dark Valleys, both of which were also published by Pen and Sword. Hours of research were involved in compiling the stories presented within these pages, and alongside the stories of the sheer brutality of war there is an inspiring story of the courage and determination shown by those far from the frontlines. Gary says that he felt truly honoured to catalogue these stories of the brave men, women and children who sacrificed so much in order that freedom would prevail. They truly were the greatest generation.
