Blitz by John Nichol
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Spitfire and The Unknown Warrior, Blitz is a searing account of a nation at war, told through the eyes of those who endured the onslaught.
‘BLITZ is beautifully written and cleverly constructed, part history, part personal journey, moving from past and present to build the story of a nation shocked by the capriciousness and violence of total war. . The result is a unique and personal blend of brilliantly researched history and reportage, assembled with care and craft into a powerful, affecting book that, instead of being rooted in the past, feels urgent and relevant today' -- Rowland White, author of Vulcan 607
'A truly powerful and engaging narrative. The way Nichol weaves the story of the Blitz with more recent accounts makes for an excellent read'
-- Andy Saunders
'John Nichol has struck again, quite brilliantly, with a sensitively written account of the Blitz attacks which truly made the Second World War a "people's war". The story of a whole nation as only Nichol can write, BLITZ is a wonderful book perfectly anchored in the human experience' -- Dr Robert Lyman
