For months, The Few' had defended Britain against the might of the
Luftwaffe. Then, on 7 September 1940, everything changed. Instead
of targeting airfields, the German bombers turned their attention
to London. The Blitz had begun. For two months, London was
systemically attacked in one of the most sustained aerial bombing
campaigns in history. The onslaught soon spread to other cities,
including Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Hull, Birmingham and
Belfast, causing widespread destruction. In the face of this
extreme devastation and heartbreak, however, came stories of
survival, heroism and courage from the people of Britain. With
sections examining life in the shelters, Britain's air raid
defences and bomb disposal, citizen heroics and the rise of crimes
such as looting, this book takes a look back at the Luftwaffe's
unsuccessful attempt to break the British spirit and shares what
life was really like during the Blitz.
