During a series of sharp air raids on Leicester in 1940 and 1941, the Luftwaffe killed over 100 citizens and wounded almost 300 more. But against this carnage, a well-organised and planned Air Raid Precautions organisation bravely responded. The result of fifteen years' exhaustive research, this book uses an array of local, national, and international archival records, some only recently declassified, to reveal the true story of the air raids on Leicester.
Described by one reviewer as the Rolls-Royce of local books, Halsgrove's pedigree at the heart of regional publishing is defined by the publication of titles of national quality in the regional market. For over two decades we have built upon this reputation, taking the experience acquired through our Westcountry origins to become the major player in the regional hardback market, publishing books aimed at local-interest readers throughout the UK and increasingly in other European countries. Several hundred titles are now published each year.
