From the smoke-choked skies above Tower Bridge to the smouldering ruins of Coventry and beyond, Blitz on Britain presents a definitive and unflinching account of the Luftwaffe's sustained aerial campaign against the United Kingdom between 1939 and 1945. Alfred Price chronicles the full arc of the German bomber offensive — from the early coastal raids and the devastating autumn of 1940 to the V-weapon attacks of the war's final years — drawing on operational records, survivor testimonies, and meticulous research to reconstruct one of the most terrifying chapters of the Second World War. Price, a former RAF officer and acclaimed aviation historian, writes with the authority of a specialist who understands both the mechanics of aerial warfare and the human cost it exacted on civilian populations. His narrative balances strategic analysis with ground-level testimony, illuminating how ordinary British men, women, and children endured — and ultimately outlasted — Hitler's campaign of destruction from the air. Rich in photographic documentation and tactical detail, this is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the true character of the war that was waged not only on the front lines, but in the streets, shelters, and homes of a nation that refused to yield.
