What's your favourite period of history? Would you go back in time to live in it if you could?
Michael Cargill
Reading about the entire WWII era is something of an unofficial hobby of mine these days, though I certainly wouldn't to travel back and live during that time.
That's not to say it's the falling bombs and the grinding tedium of rationing that puts me off, it's more the social attitudes that I'd wary of. A lot of people have this idea that the 1930s and 1940s were a time of innocence, honour, and heroism... they really weren't.
