Blitz Spirit

As the bombs began to fall in September 1940, as homes were flattened & people emerged from cramped shelters & sleepless nights into barely recognisable streets, something very British happened - the Blitz Spirit was born. Amazingly the terrors of bombing inspired the best in ordinary people, without whose pluck, patriotism and humor the war could never have been won. This book collects the best examples of the Blitz Spirit which, with Churchill's inspiration, got Britain through its darkest hour.
