Alex Clarke names Dale Clarke's Britain's Final Defence: Arming the Home Guard, 1940-1944 as a book he wants to obtain. The recommendation rests on favorable things heard about it, with an explicit admission that he has not yet bought a copy. It therefore supplies a reading lead rather than evidence from a book he has assessed. He identifies relatives who served in the Home Guard as a major basis for his existing knowledge. That distinction matters when considering the detailed family and local-unit stories in the discussion.
