From 1942 to 1944, Britain endured a new phase of the Blitz. Provoked by relentless RAF raids on Germany, Hitler struck back with the Baedeker offensive, followed by the 1944 Steinbock raids, the so-called ‘Baby Blitz’. Yet these were merely a prelude to a darker threat: the V1 and V2 flying bombs. This volume charts the transition from manned bomber attacks to the terrifying era of weapons of vengeance, blending hard facts with gripping eyewitness accounts to capture the terror, resilience, and drama of Britain under fire. Published in 1990 this is Then and Now original.
