Description
Kent at War: The Unconquered County, 1939-1945 by Bob Ogley This illustrated history explores the pivotal role Kent played during World War II. Situated between occupied Europe and its own capital city, the county witnessed firsthand the drama, heroism, and horrors of the conflict. From mobilization to VE Day in May 1945, all major events are recounted. The book covers the entire spectrum of Kent's wartime experience, including evacuation, the Battle of Britain, the Blitz, fighter sweeps from local airfields, D-Day, and the impact of flying bombs and rockets. A comprehensive account of this often-overlooked region's contribution to the war effort is presented in a clear and engaging manner. 224 pages of detailed history make for an informative read for anyone interested in World War II and its impact on Kent.
