From the author of Wartime comes an outstanding history of the most sustained onslaught ever endured by Britain's civilian population the Blitz.September 1940 marked the beginning of Nazi Germany's aerial attack on civilian Britain. Lasting eight months, the Blitz was the form of warfare that had been predicted throughout the 1930s, and that the British people had feared since Neville Chamberlain's declaration that Britain was at war. Images of Britains devastated cities are among the most iconic of the Second World War.Yet compared with other great moments of that war Dunkirk, the North African campaign, DDay the Blitz remains curiously unexamined. Apart from fragmentary accounts and local records, there is little in the way of a comprehensive account of the experience that so many British civilians went through as well as the social, political and cultural implications of the bombardment. Designed to break the morale of the British population, the nightly bombings certainly did devastate. But, as Juliet Gardiner shows in this hugely important book, they also served to galvanise the nation; from those terrifying eight months, a new determination amongst people and politicians steadily emerged.Revealing, original and beautifully written, The Blitz is a muchneeded exploration of one of the most important moments in Second World War history.
