An authentic contemporary account of the Plymouth Blitz and the city's endurance during World War II, written by local war correspondent H. P. Twyford. This hardback volume features striking black-and-white documentary photography by Dermot P. Fitzgerald, offering a vital historical record of the devastation and recovery .
Includes a lovely piece of social history: an original handwritten slip of post-war ephemera laid into the pages. The slip reads: *"Wishing you very very many returns of the day. Thought you might be interested in reading about poor old Plymouth. Very much love, Gingie."* There is also a neat handwritten date on the corner of the endpaper: "12.11.46."

**Condition:**
Good, honest vintage condition consistent with age.
* **Covers:** Original red cloth boards show typical shelf wear, light rubbing, and minor bumping to the corners and spine edges.
* **Binding:** Intact and firm.
* **Pages:** Internally clean with light natural toning/foxing expected of 1940s wartime economy paper stock. No missing pages or major tears.

A wonderful acquisition for collectors of military history, the Blitz, or Devon and Plymouth local heritage.
