London: Bombed Blitzed and Blown Up
Published by Pen & Sword Books
A “terrific history” of the capital city and the destruction it has endured in modern times (Books Monthly).
The terrors of the Blitz during World War II and the car bombs of the Troubles are only the most familiar examples of incendiary attacks on London. This comprehensive history, written by a bomb disposal expert employed by both the British Army and Metropolitan Police, takes an in-depth look at those events as well as at bombings by anarchists and militant suffragettes; the zeppelin raids of the Great War; the coordinated explosions on London’s trains in 2005; and other assaults by military, terrorist, and criminal actors.
