The Blitz

• Includes indepth research on the heroic activities of the Fire Service, Home Guard and British Red Cross • Covers the complex behind-the-scenes organisations that put rescue and recovery services in place, and kept them functioning • Explains the procedures, technologies and tactics that enabled London and other cities across the UK to survive

Description

That the Blitz did not bring the UK to its knees is due, in large part, to a vast response by Civil Defence services and the British people themselves. During the war itself, some 1.5 million people took up duties in the Civil Defence (General) services, in roles ranging from air raid wardens to ambulance drivers to heavy rescue parties.

Heavily illustrated with primary source diagrams and photographs, The Blitz: Civil Defence Operations Manual provides a highly detailed insight into what it took to survive extraordinary circumstances.
