An alternative history of the Blitz written by historian and broadcaster Joshua Levine.
**With a Foreword by Steve McQueen**
‘Rigorously researched, yet reads like a novel you can’t put down’ LUCY WORSLEY
‘Joshua Levine is a fantastic and passionate individual. I highly recommend him for the breadth of knowledge he has’ STEVE McQUEEN
The Blitz is one of the most iconic and tumultuous periods in modern British history – and one of the most misunderstood.
From the first page, readers will discover a different story to the one they thought they knew – a tale of extreme lifestyles and unlikely friendships, savage horrors and joyful awakenings. Out of the shadows and the rubble, a modern Britain emerged: new industries were created and unprecedented opportunities arose for women. Yet, at the same time, criminals thrived, bringing uncertainty to the streets. As the nation reinvented itself, its people were pulled in every direction. This is what it was really like.
The Secret History of the Blitz measures the true pulse of a ‘blitzed nation’, revealing how this period of immense social and political change built the Britain we know today.
‘A first-class portrait . . . stuffed with memorable details’
★★★★★ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
‘A compelling reassessment of Britain’s darkest hour . . . Meticulously researched and written with great panache’
