This book collects the best examples of the Blitz Spirit which – with Churchill’s inspiration – got Britain through its darkest hour. The anthology includes extracts from training manuals, Churchill’s speeches, advice on Things to do in an Air-raid and Refuge Rooms, games to do in the Black-out, contemporary songs and poems, and contemporary accounts and memories, including those of Harold Nicolson, Mollie Panter-Downes, Vera Brittain, and air-raid warden John Strachey.
