I always felt that the Keep Calm and Carry On fad was a bit out of control. And when we went to London I saw it there too...only to find out, that it was in Britain that the phrase was created. I saw this book at the Churchill War Rooms, and was intrigued. I'm glad I didn't spend the money there and found a copy stateside.

This book was a history on the use of propaganda posters during World War II in Britain. Oddly enough, the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster was never used during the war and was long forgotten.
