Praise for Neil Hanson
‘Neil Hanson is that rare beast — a popular historian who never talks down to his readers. Clearly and engagingly written, his book puts more academic historians to shame by discovering a big subject, investigating it thoroughly and drawing bold but far-reaching conclusions from it.’
‘Using first-hand witnesses plus government war records, Hanson draws a powerful picture of the impact of these first air raids.’
‘History invariably falls into two categories: academic and narrative… To marry the two is a rare art — and it is an art Neil Hanson has mastered… This is a compelling story compellingly told… Gripping.’
