The Secret History Of The Blitz

Any mention of the Blitz is likely to conjure up images of Londoners huddled in the Underground, or bravely upholding standards of daily life while the city was being reduced to rubble. Was there more to it than just a life-or-death struggle? Taking a broader view of the era, the author of Operation Fortitude reveals a time which saw increased job opportunities for women, a spike in nightclub attendance, and a growing acceptance of alternate lifestyles, but also a resurgence of prostitution.
