The secret history of the Blitz : chancers, outcasts and unsung heroes - life in the shadows during Britain's darkest days / Joshua Levine.
The Blitz was one of the most iconic periods in modern British history and one of the most misunderstood. This affecting biography goes behind the often-used phrase 'Blitz spirit' to reveal the human truth ; people were pulling together and helping strangers, but they were also breaking rules and finding pleasure in surprising ways. Life during wartime, the author reveals, was complex, messy and real.
