It rested upon the assumed invincibility of an island race distinguished by good humour, understatement and the ability to pluck victory from the jaws of defeat by team work, improvisation and muddling through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, in many ways, the Blitz was not like that. Sixty-thousand people were conscientious objectors; a quarter of London''s population fled to the country; Churchill and the royal family were booed while touring the aftermath of air-raids; Britain was not bombed into classless democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAngus Calder provides a compelling examination of the events of 1940 and 1941 - when Britain ''stood alone'' against the Luftwaffe - and of the Myth which sustained her ''finest hour''.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57309770121598,"sku":"NW9780712698207","price":19.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780712698207.jpg?v=1778712494","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/myth-of-the-blitz","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
