Forgotten Voices of the Blitz and the Battle For Britain (Abridged, Audio cassette, Abridged edition)

Continuing the critically acclaimed and bestselling Forgotten Voices series, Joshua Levine has compiled an extraordinary account of airborne warfare using the Imperial War Museum's extensive archive. In June 1940, British citizens prepared for an imminent German invasion. Hitler's troops had overrun Holland, Belgium and France in quick succession and the British people anticipated that war would soon be upon them. From July to September, they watched the Battle of Britain play out in the skies above them, aware that the result would decide their fate. Over the next nine months, the Blitz killed more than 43,500 civilians. For a year, the citizens of Britain were effectively front line soldiers in a battle which united the country against a hated enemy. We hear from the soldiers, airmen, fire-fighters, air-wardens and civilians, people in the air and on the ground, on both sides of the battle, giving us a unique, compelling and often thrilling account of Britain under siege. Britain, Black Saturday on 8th September 1940 when the Luftwaffe began the Blitz, to it's crescendo on the 10th May 1941, this will be the definitive oral history of a period when Britain came closer to being overwhelmed by the enemy than at any other time in history.
