1st ed., 1st printing ; 196 pages : illustrations ; 25 x 31 cm ; ISBN 9781849084246, 1849084246 ; OCLC 503042136 ; LCCN 2010549497 ; LOC No D760.8.L7 M625 2010 ; Dewey 942/.1 ; Contents: Introduction : the calm before the storm, September 1939 to September 1940 -- Hell from on high : September 1940 -- London can take it! Autumn 1940 -- Business as usual : November 1940 in London -- Coventrated : the devastation of Coventry, 14 November 1940 -- The second great fire of London : 29 December 1940 -- Britain gets blitzed : January to April 1941 -- No mercy for Merseyside : May 1941 -- Hellfire : 10 May 1941 -- V is for vengence : 1944 and 1945 ; The winter of 1940-41 was the season of the Blitz. From St Paul's Cathedral to the East End, from the very heart of the capital to the cities of the midlands, throughout the length and breadth of the land the bombs rained down as Germany attempted to bludgeon Britain into submission. As the civilian populations below cowered in their shelters or manned the fire services, there could be no doubt that this was an island under siege. ; Drawing exclusively on the photo archive of the Mirror newspaper group this volume brings to life this extraordinary period in British history. Remarkably a number of these images have never seen the light of day before thanks to wartime censors and now, 70 years after the fact, they reveal for the first time the harsh realities of life and death during the Blitz. ; Written by Gavin Mortimer, who has previously published The Longest Night: Voices from the London Blitz (Orion 2005), this book weaves together these incredible images with newspaper articles, diary entries and first-hand accounts to create a compelling chronological account of Britain's darkest and most difficult period in her long history. ; FINE/FINE.…
