Description

Coventry's Blitz is a detailed account of the city's experience during the Second World War, from the early preparations for war in 1938 to the devastating final raids in 1942. Local historian David McGrory draws on new sources and personal memories to bring the story to life. The book tells the story of Coventry's residents throughout the war, including the impact of the Luftwaffe's relentless bombing campaign, which left 1,252 dead and 1,859 injured. Richly illustrated with previously unseen archive photography, the book offers a unique insight into this pivotal period in the city's history. Published to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the blitz, Coventry's Blitz is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Coventry and its people during World War II.
