| Synopsis: |
The story of Britain in the Blitz is told vividly here in words and pictures. This was a defining moment of the Second World War when civilians faced total war from the air with bombing raids over Britain. Here we recall the effect of the chilling wail of the air-raid siren followed by anxious, sleepless nights; countless stories of bravery from ordinary people in extraordinary situations; and, tales of communities emerging with memories of local heroes, losses and laughter. The book is accompanied by a CD of melodies and dance music from the war years, from Vera Lynn's "White Cliffs of Dover" to the strains of "The Victory Polka" from The Joe Loss Orchestra. |
