During the blitz on London in 1941, a sailor on leave couldn't wait to get back to his ship. "At least there," he said, "you can fire back at an enemy, but poor bloody civilians just have to sit and take it." Throughout the Second World War, some 65,000 English civilians died from German bombing of one type or another. Twice that number were injured and thousands suffered psychological trauma as a result of the conflict that lasted six years. This book is a fictionalized account of the experiences of one young civilian during that period. The author was born in London, England and after two years of undistinguished service in the RAF, he developed what is sometimes called an inconsistent work record. In England, Canada, the USA, New Zealand and Australia - where he currently lives - he has been a proofreader, an actor, a radio announcer, a television journalist, an award winning script writer and a documentary filmmaker and producer. He is married to a Canadian-born artist and they have six children.
