About this product

Product Information

Between 1939 and 1945, London and its environs experienced destruction on a huge scale, with air raids and rocket attacks reducing buildings and entire streets to rubble. The London County Council Bomb Damage Maps speak of the human experience of war - of loss and camaraderie, of tragedy and heroism - conjuring up the days of blackout and the 'Spirit of the Blitz'. They tell a story, moreover, that was echoed in towns and cities across Britain and throughout the world. The maps, meticulously hand-coloured to document the level of damage being wrought, represent a key record of the destruction, the impact of which can still be seen in the capital's urban and social landscapes. Featuring new, high-quality images of each of the 110 maps that make up the set, complete with archival tables of often grim statistics, this book marks the first time these remarkable documents - part historical artifacts, part social history - have been published for a general audience. The book also includes a series of extraordinary photographs of the damage done to the City of London in particular, taken with a sympathetic yet unflinching eye by police constables Arthur Cross and Fred Tibbs.

    Excellent document of war damage from World War 2

    A very good book, but you really need a magnifying glass to look at the maps clearly. Although they are printed very well, they are a bit on the small side to see the fine detail properly with normal eyesight. Apart from that, its an excellent and official document of where property was bombed out and landing sites where V1's and V2's came down on the capital. When I walk down my local streets I can see the rebuilding evidence of old bomb sites that were rebuilt over the last 70 years or so. I now see London in a different way, where streets once were and some buildings that now exist that now have names related to old disappeared streets that I wouldn't have any clue of their named connection.
