The Battle of Britain and The Blitz: Voices from the Twentieth Century

Mint condition. Michael O'Mara Books, 2005. Large format pictorial hardback with Dj(small crease, nick and scratch on the edges of the Dj cover), both in mint condition. Inludes 1 hour Audio CD of Actual Eyewitness Accounts. Illustrated with many colour, b/w photos, drawings. 143pp including The Voices-list of illustrations, select bibliography, CD music credits. Product Description: By June 1940 Britain faced the enemy across the English Channel with an anxious sense that very little kept her from being subjugated by the overwhelming might of the Nazi forces. What rescued the country was the Royal Air Force's triumph in the Battle of Britain, and the defiance and enduring will of the people who lived, worked and suffered under the Lufwaffe's Blitz which almost nightly from September 1940 until May 1941, rained destruction upon London and other major cities - only to do so again in later campaigns that culminated in the launching of the Nazis' V1 and V2 'revenge weapons'. Based on eyewitness reminiscences, The Battle Of Britain and the Blitz relives those desperate times in the words of pilots, ground crew and other airman and airwomen, firefighters, air-raid wardens, radar operators, spotters, anti-aircraft gunners, and Red Cross, and other voluntary workers, as well as civilians - old and young, male and female - who between them helped to ensure that Britain survived to fight another day and, ultimately, to win.

Dark blue hardback(gilt lettering to the spine) in VGC plus, with Dj(large tear on the edge of the back Dj cover, a couple of creases, small nicks and scratches on the Dj cover) in VGC.

The book is in VGC with light shelf wear on the Dj cover. 282pp including List of illustrations, list of maps, notes, sources, glossary, index, 'Market Garden' Chain of command tree. Price un-clipped. Product Description: Arnhem was the heaviest Allied defeat of 1944 and was the subject of the famous film A Bridge Too Far. Casualties during the battle were appalling; the brave and enduring Dutch people suffered catastrophically in the aftermath and German morale was strengthened at a time of otherwise ebbing fortunes. n nThis new revised edition besides being a superb history is, above all, a record of quite extraordinary courage - of commanders, ordinary soldiers, pilots and aircrew, Dutch civilians, of hard pressed German troops fighting to save their country from invasion; and most of all, of the Americans, British and Poles who made up the Airborne Forces. The Devil's Birthday, whose author Geoffrey Powell, is professional writer and decorated veteran of the battle, is unlikely to be superseded as the standard work on a bold, gallant, yet doomed, undertaking.
