Blitz Over Britain (Illustrated Hardcover)

Description

Blitz over Britain is an authoritative and revealing study of the whole of the German air offensive against the British Isles during the Second World War. A brief history of bombardment from the air and a summary of events leading up to the outbreak of the war and the fall of France set the scene for the Battle of Britain and the London blitz. There follows a sequence of vivid accounts of the sustained terror raids on Coventry and other major cities in the industrial heartland of Britain and on the ports that kept open the nation’s vital lifelines.
