Mortimer, Gavin
The Longest Night: The Bombing of London on May 10, 1941
New York Berkley Caliber 2005 0425205576 / 9780425205570 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Fine
x, 356 pp., illus., index; 24 cm. Tight, clean text. Small stain/front board. Browning. Stated "First edition: October 2005." Fine DJ. "The first in-depth account of the WWII raid that almost defeated England. Seven months after the Nazi Blitz began in September 1940, London remained the center of the free world's resistance to Hitler's Germany. But--contrary to popular belief--the city's 'all-in-together' camaraderie was disintegrating after two devastating Luftwaffe raids. Civil Defenses were chronically short of volunteers and newspapers reported looting, petty crime, and price-gouging. But there was reason for optimism. Churchill remained steadfast, rallying the English. London hadn't been bombed in three weeks, while the RAF shot down 90 German bombers over Britain. It began to appear that the worst could be over. So, when the air raid sirens sounded on the evening of May 10, 1941, Londoners were nonchalant. It soon became clear, however, that this was no ordinary bombing, but a devastating Luftwaffe raid that would eclipse all others. Gavin Mortimer is a native Londoner. He began writing by freelancing for several publications, including the London Evening Standard, the Observer, and the Guardian. He has contributed articles to a richly diverse range of magazines from Esquire to BBC History to Rugby World. This is his fourth book,, the first to be published in the U.S." - Publisher.
