Taking an unique look at how Britain survived the bombing of its
major cities, "The Blitz - A Very Peculiar History" tells a story
of blackouts, Bletchley Park and bravery during the darkest
(literally) period of World War II. From Dunkirk to Dad's Army,
explore the many ways in which Britain tried to foil the incoming
bomber planes, featuring quirky stories and fascinating trivia
about this period of history. Were German paratroopers really
dropped disguised as nuns? Find out the answer to this question and
many more even more bizarre ones throughout the course of this
amazing tale of survival in the face of adversity. Fact boxes, a
full glossary and index make the book both fun and informative to
use. The text is enlivened with black-and-white line drawings and
full-colour endpapers.
