This small book is illustrated with photographs that are graphic and accurate of the bombing of London. I spent this period, first as a young civilian, working in London and spending nights in an air raid shelter with my mother and sister. I enlisted in the Army and served in the 1st Radar Regiment, Royal Artillery as a Height Finder Operator.
The book gives an excellent, concise picture of how we endured and survived years of warfare, bombings, and loss of family, friends and loved ones. I recommend this book to history buffs and others seeking to understand the Battle of Britain.
