Product Description

Synopsis

This Battleground Europe 'special' is a fascinating and highly informative guidebook to the Capital which will be invaluable to those who wish to understand what Londoners went through during the Second World War. By means of seven easily manageable walks, the reader is transported back to those dark days of devastating destruction. Using rich anecdotes and first-hand accounts the scale of the Luftwaffe raids becomes apparent and the horror of Hitler's V-weapon attacks unfurls. An original and fascinating way to visit London.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb atmospheric guide brings London History alive, 24 Nov 2003

By	"julianwhippy" - See all my reviews

The book is not just a guide book, it brings alive those classy days of the 1940's. It has wonderfull anecdotes, superb photos and takes you on an adventure through parts of Town not often walked. once read and "walked" you will never see London in the same light. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to take this tour of London, 27 Nov 2005

By	shirley lieb (Oak Park, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have always been fascinated with Londons history during the war. This book went way beyond my expectations of what I could learn about what happened those many night in 1940 and beyond.

On my next trip to London, I definitely plan to take this book with me and find some of this interesting places.

2.0 out of 5 stars More "Touristground Europe" than "Battleground Europe", 25 Aug 2007

By	Andrew Walker "andrewwalker66" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't get me wrong - I don't disapporve of books for tourists at all - when I go to a new city I want something light and frothy to entertain me, not an academic tome, so I accept there's scope for that type of book being written about London. My frustration with this book was that as it was published in the "Battleground Europe" series it would be aimed at the historian more than the tourist. I was quite disappointed.
The book consists of four walks through London. The strengths of the book are the photos (especially when the author manages to match up shots from the Blitz with the modern view) and the eyewitness accounts. The maps are clear and the text is readbale.
The weakness is the choice of walks. The first, from the Bank to London Bridge makes good sense as it passes through parts of the City that were heavily bombed. Walk Two from Ludgate Circus to trafalgar Suare is still ok. But walks three and four, while covering areas of London that ahd some bomb damage, lean far too heavily on standard tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace, or places of significance to American visitors. (Walk 3 is from Marble Arch to the Cabinet War Rooms and Walk 4 from Hyde Park Corner to Westminster). Things improve again with Walk 5 (London Bridge to St Pauls) but my enthusiasm was running low by this stage.
I would certainly think about taking one of the walks, but before I did I might do some of my own background research to flesh out the text.
