During the 1930s, war with Germany became increasingly likely. The
British Government believed that it would start with massed ranks
of enemy planes, dropping bombs and poison gas on civilians in
major towns and cities, terrifying them into surrendering. When war
broke out, preparations to protect the population were piecemeal
and inadequate. As anticipated, people were shocked by the first
raids and the response of rescue services was chaotic. But far from
breaking morale, the Blitz galvanised public opinion in support of
the war. Soon people became hardened by their experiences and
attacks from the air became a normal, albeit terrible, part of
daily life. Blitz Diary tells the story in a remarkable series of
eyewitness accounts from the war's earliest and darkest days
through to the end, when the V-2 rockets brought devastation
without warning. Preservation of such first-hand accounts has
become increasingly important as the Blitz fades from living
memory. This expanded edition includes new chapters and new
accounts from key eyewitnesses.
