Today, European nations still use stamps to commemorate aspects of a nation's culture, history and achievements. During the Second World War, however, stamps were considered far more important in conveying political and ideological messages about their country's change in fortunes – whether it was as triumphant occupier, willing or unwilling ally, or oppressed victim. Some issues and overprints contained obvious messages, but many others were skillfully designed and subtle in their intentions. Stamps and their accompanying postmarks offer an absorbing and surprisingly detailed insight into the hopes and fears of nations at this tumultuous time. This remarkable collection examines and interprets the stamps of twenty-two countries across western and eastern Europe. The glorification of the Führer and Germany on the stamps of countries he most oppressed was inevitable, but many issues are ambiguous and indicative of the rival ethnic and political forces striving to attain influence and power. Desperate to unite the people, Soviet Russia resorted to images of the nation's heroic achievements under the Tsars; the mutually hostile puppet states Hitler and Mussolini allowed to emerge out of conquered Yugoslavia lost no time in issuing stamps proclaiming their cultural diversity; and Vichy France sought to justify its existence with issues linking past glories under Louis XIV and Napoleon with an equally glorious future alongside Hitler. These and many more stories reveal the aspirations, assumptions and anxieties of so many nations as their destinies hung in the balance.

Stamps reflect contemporary ideas and events, and none more so than those at the end of the Second World War. They were seen by all governments as an invaluable means of publicity, promotion and persuasion. Skilfully designed and eye-catching, they reveal how the years 1944 to 1949 were decisive in reshaping Europe after Germany's defeat. Not only did countries have to reconstruct shattered economies, rebuild devastated cities, and relieve widespread distress, but many underwent radical political realignments. Successive sets of stamps clearly depicted these events and, very significantly, the ideologies underpinning them.

European Stamp Issues and the First World War takes a new approach to the dramatic storyof the continental empires and nations who became embroiled in the Great War that eventuallytransformed Europe and created a new patchwork of countries seething with jealousiesand discontent.It does so using the unique perspectives provided by the philatelic images through whicheach nation projected its vision of itself through the ruling dynasties, military triumphs, breathtakingscenery, cultural achievements and technical advances it chose to highlight. Duringthe uncertain and traumatic decades surrounding the Great War, nothing identified theaspirations and anxieties of a country more than its succession of stamp designs - some verydramatic, others subtle.Eye-catching new issues were powerful instruments of propaganda as well as revenue.In victory, stamps celebrated the acquisition of new territory, and in adversity they urged unityand promoted charities. From 1918 numerous stamps tracked the savage Red and WhiteRussian Civil War. And, as the great empires collapsed, countries such as Czechoslovakia,Poland and the Baltic States emerged eager to promote their history, culture and independence.While many French and Belgian stamps showed these war-torn nations nursing theirrecovery, issues in Germany highlighted how its post-war chaos hardened into a new nationalidentity. And across the Balkans lengthy sets reflected the deep divisions within and betweenthe Slav nations that preceded and long outlasted the First World War.This unparalleled book provides a fascinating portrait of the turbulent decades of theearly twentieth century, revealed through miniature works of art that are in themselvesimportant historical sources.

The First World War claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its legacy continues to be remembered today. Great War Britain: Exeter offers an intimate portrayal of the city and its people living in the shadow of the 'war to end all wars'. A beautifully illustrated and highly accessible volume, it describes local reaction to the outbreak of war; charts the experience of individuals who enlisted; the changing face of industry; the work of the many hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on local children; the women who defied convention to play a vital role on the home front; and concludes with a chapter dedicated to how the city and its people coped with the transition to life in peacetime once more. The Great War story of Exeter is told through the voices of those who were there and is vividly illustrated, including many evocative images from the archives of the Devon and Exeter Institution.

A century ago, Britain was locked in a devastating worldwide conflict that would change every aspect of society. This book explores life in Devon between 1900 and 1914, offering a revealing glimpse of a world now long-vanished before war broke out. Devon was no backwater; its railways and shipping were busy bringing tourists in and sending vast quantities of produce out. It was, though, a county of contrasts and change. Farming had reinvented itself after the late Victorian depression, but villages were in decline; churches and chapels were full but religion bitterly divided communities; the wealthy enjoyed extravagant lifestyles on great estates but their authority was under attack. Devon's upper-, middle- and lower-class schools perfectly reflected the Edwardian social hierarchy, but as the county's elections revealed, society was being torn asunder by bitter controversies over exactly who should have the vote, rule the country, and control the Empire. It was a worrying time overseas too: Great Britain's supremacy was increasingly challenged, and the warships in Devon's harbours and army manoeuvres on the moors drew many comments as the storm clouds began to gather over Europe. Using mainly contemporary sources, this engaging book examines the attitudes and experiences of people across all social classes in this tumultuous era.
