With a Foreword by Steve McQueen
The Blitz period is one of the most iconic and tumultuous times in modern British history – and one of the most misunderstood. From the very first page, readers will discover a different story than the one they thought they knew – a narrative of extreme lifestyles and incredible friendships, fierce atrocities and joyful awakenings. From the shadows and debris, a modern Britain emerged: new industries were created and unprecedented opportunities opened up for women. However, at the same time, criminals thrived, bringing uncertainty to the streets. As the nation rose up, its people were pulled in every direction. This is how it truly was.
The Secret History of the Blitz captures the true pulse of a “wounded nation,” revealing how this period of immense social and political change created the Britain we know today. 'A first-class portrait... filled with evocative detail' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH. 'A riveting reassessment of Britain’s darkest hour... Thoughtfully researched and written with great care' GILES MILTON.
