Men at Work explores the cultural portrayal of four essential wartime occupations: agriculture, industry, firefighting and the mercantile marine. In analysing a broad spectrum of wartime media (most notably film, radio and visual culture) it establishes a clear hierarchy of masculine roles in British culture during the Second World War.

1. Finding the Lost Working Man
2. Digging for Victory: Farming in Wartime Culture
3. The Attack Begins in the Factory: The Male Industrial Worker in Wartime Culture
4. Heroes on the Home Front: Firefighting in Wartime Culture
5. For Those in Peril on the Sea: the Merchant Navy in Wartime Culture
6. All In It Together?: Reflections on the Masculine Hierarchy
