The work reconstructs the twelve months from May 10, 1940 to May 10, 1941, during which London suffered intense German bombing. Larson follows Winston Churchill and the circle around him, combining war chronicle with everyday episodes showing life under attack: leadership, speeches, fear and resistance.

Aimed at readers of twentieth-century history and World War II, as well as those seeking a documented narrative about Churchill and the London Blitz.
