The First Day of the Blitz by Peter Stansky
On September 7, 1940, the Blitz began. The bombing of London, by over one thousand planes on that night alone, was recognised at the time as being a direct measure to break the country's resistance. This book tells of the impact that this terror from the skies had on British people and the course of war.
"'In this thoughtful and sensitive book, Peter Stansky shows the English being fully human when faced with one of the first acts of terror to be visited upon a modern urban populace' Peter Mandler"
Peter Stansky is Frances and Charles Field Professor of History, Emeritus at Stanford University. He is the author of numerous distinguished works in the field of modern British social, cultural and political history, including Sassoon (Yale 2003).
