Product Description
Product Description
From the Publisher
The bombing, one of a series on British 'cultural' targets, was ordered by Hitler in retaliation for British strikes against Lubeck. They became known as 'Baedeker' raids after a German official mentioned the famous guide book in connection with them.
There was widespread public indignation at the wanton destruction of a historic and defenceless city (Bath was devoid of anti-aircraft protection), though a few, perversely, seemed to find satisfaction that Bath had come fsace-to-face with the reality of war.
In this thoroughly researched book Niall Rothnie provides the definitive history of the raids and their aftermath. He has woven the accounts of children, ARP wardens, soldiers home on leave, ambulance drivers, doctors, housewives and many others to produce a blow-by-blow account, interspersed with official statistics and German and British military reports.
The result is of interest not only to all who know and love Bath, but to all who are curious about how a community can react to a sudden and destructive crisis.
