Firemen at War: The Work of London's Firefighters in the Second World War
Author: Neil Wallington
Price: £12.95
Synopsis:
The fact that London was not burnt to the ground in the Second World War is a direct tribute to the Fire Service of the time. In 1940, incendiaries and highly explosive bombs rained down on London for 57 consecutive nights. This is the story of the Blitz and of the men and women who worked through some of the fieriest and most dramatic nights of Britain's history, and it is amplified by the personal recollections of those who were there. This splendid account of the adventures, courage and humour, problems and achievements of the wartime firefighters as they struggled to save lives, property and historic landmarks, makes absorbing reading.
