Product Description
Review
'He offers a vivid account of how Londoners withstood attack. Recent events have shown how that resilient spirit lives into our own day.' --Literary Review, September 2007
'From the ruins of these buildings levelled on that first night, the myth of the Blitz, still potent today, arose. Stansky makes well-judged use of eyewitness acounts to highlight the reality beyond that myth.' --Sunday Times, September 16, 2007
'...Stansky has trawled both the available British and American Blitz literature - especially writer-witnesses such as George Orwell and Vera Brittain - and the unpublished accounts of humbler folk. The result is a competent and workmanlike survey of the most traumatic day in London's long life.' --Sunday Telegraph, September 23, 2007
