Over 500 aircraft and thousands of Luftwaffe aircrew took off for England, laden with hundreds of tonnes of bombs to drop indiscriminately on the capital's civilians. In a matter of hours, 1,486 Londoners were killed, 11,000 houses were destroyed, and millions of lives were changed for ever. This attack almost brought Britain to military collapse. Using extensive survivors\\' testimony and hitherto classified documents, *The Longest Night* reveals how the Luftwaffe came within a whisker of total victory. **In a gripping, minute-by-minute account, Gavin Mortimer has recreated the experience of Londoners on this one terrifying night when the survival of the country hung in the balance.**\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gavin Mortimer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1835980619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835980613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canelo History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.83d","brand":"Gavin Mortimer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906951663871,"sku":"9781835980613","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8146612a-2c3b-435a-aea5-de41c3370d08.jpg?v=1748771868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-longest-night-gavin-mortimer-9781835980613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
