Fulham in the Second World War — Leslie Hasker
Published by the Fulham and Hammersmith Historical Society, 1984.
Scarce signed and inscribed first-edition copy of this detailed local history of Fulham, London during the Second World War.
Personally inscribed by the author on the inside front cover:
“For Earl & Pearl

The book documents life in Fulham from the uneasy pre-war period through the Blitz, wartime conditions, D-Day and the end of the war in 1945. Illustrated throughout with historical photographs and drawing heavily upon official records and contemporary local accounts.
An appealing association copy for collectors of London history, WWII home-front history, the Blitz and British local-history publications.
