Publisher's Synopsis
September 1940 marked the beginning of Nazi Germany's sustained attack on civilian Britain. Lasting eight months, the Blitz was a new and terrible form of warfare. While the London Blitz has been much documented, there is no comprehensive account of the Blitz experience as a whole - or of its social, political and cultural implications. In her new book, Juliet Gardiner finally gives the Blitz the attention it deserves, charting the impact of the bombings on the entire country.
