Description

The Shelter of the Tubes: A Hidden Community in Wartime London During the Blitz, the London Underground became a place of refuge for thousands of people. This book tells the story of the extraordinary community that developed underground during the long nights of the war, using previously unpublished diary entries and government papers. The public invasion of the tubes was a remarkable civil act of the war, and this book brings to light the story of the people who lived and worked together in these underground shelters. The author has drawn on a unique collection of sources to create a vivid and detailed portrait of life in the tubes during this period. Hardcover, 96 pages, first edition, 2001.
