The Blitz was a defining moment of the Second World War when civilians faced total war from the air with bombing raids over Britain.

This title brings back the effect of the chilling wail of the air-raid siren followed by anxious, sleepless nights and stories of bravery from ordinary people in extraordinary situations.

Well-illustrated with contemporary photographs, this book explores the Blitz and its effect on places and people.

Comes with a CD of wartime memories and dance music.
