Hardback. Condizione: New. **THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**'[Nichol] has a marvellous eye for detail . . . this is history at its finest. Truly memorable' Daily Mirror The Second World War was not only fought in the skies above Europe or on distant beaches. Between 1939 and 1945, Hitler's aerial onslaught crashed into lives across the UK night after night, killing more than 60,000 civilians and leaving millions homeless. For too long, 'The Blitz' - from the German 'Blitzkrieg' or lightning war - has been framed as a few desperate months between September 1940 and May 1941 that mainly affected London. In reality, the scope of the attack on the home front was far more widespread, and far more devastating. Now, John Nichol tells this supposedly familiar narrative - one of the most important events in British history - afresh. Beginning with a search to understand his mother's experiences of the blitz on Tyneside - drawing on fragments of memory and the unanswered questions she left behind - Nichol ranges outward to reveal a truly national history. From Dover to Glasgow, Cardiff to Manchester, he uncovers astonishing accounts of catastrophe and resilience. Of 'ordinary' men, women and children catapulted into harm's way. Of heroic firefighters battling infernos, the unflinching bravery required to defuse unexploded bombs, families wiped out in an instant, communities left bereft by a single blast.Using interviews with survivors, official records and eyewitness testimonies, Nichol gives voice to the unsung heroes who endured explosions, fire and fear, but found the courage to run towards danger. He brings the story up to date by speaking to people involved in similar situations: mass casualty events, the deadly blaze at Grenfell Tower, bomb disposal in modern warfare and individual acts of astonishing bravery. And as new military threats emerge, Nichol asks whether the country still has such resilience today.At once gripping and compassionate, BLITZ is the definitive account of a nationwide struggle that shaped the course of the war and the spirit of a generation.The book includes maps, colour endpapers, and two plate sections with 38 photos and archival images.'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 MBE FRHistS, co-author of Victory to Defeat: The British Army 1918-40'An important book which takes the myth of the storybook Blitz Spirit and redefines it. Absolutely fantastic' Professor Lucy Easthope, author of When the Dust Settles: Searching for Hope After DisasterJohn Nichol, Sunday Times bestseller, May 2026.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. **THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**'[Nichol] has a marvellous eye for detail . . . this is history at its finest. Truly memorable' Daily Mirror The Second World War was not only fought in the skies above Europe or on distant beaches. Between 1939 and 1945, Hitler's aerial onslaught crashed into lives across the UK night after night, killing more than 60,000 civilians and leaving millions homeless. For too long, 'The Blitz' - from the German 'Blitzkrieg' or lightning war - has been framed as a few desperate months between September 1940 and May 1941 that mainly affected London. In reality, the scope of the attack on the home front was far more widespread, and far more devastating. Now, John Nichol tells this supposedly familiar narrative - one of the most important events in British history - afresh. Beginning with a search to understand his mother's experiences of the blitz on Tyneside - drawing on fragments of memory and the unanswered questions she left behind - Nichol ranges outward to reveal a truly national history. From Dover to Glasgow, Cardiff to Manchester, he uncovers astonishing accounts of catastrophe and resilience. Of 'ordinary' men, women and children catapulted into harm's way. Of heroic firefighters battling infernos, the unflinching bravery required to defuse unexploded bombs, families wiped out in an instant, communities left bereft by a single blast.Using interviews with survivors, official records and eyewitness testimonies, Nichol gives voice to the unsung heroes who endured explosions, fire and fear, but found the courage to run towards danger.
