During a series of sharp air raids on Leicester in 1940 and 1941, the Luftwaffe killed over 100 citizens and wounded almost 300 more. But against this carnage, a well-organised and planned Air Raid Precautions organisation bravely responded. The result of fifteen years' exhaustive research, this book uses an array of local, national, and international archival records, some only recently declassified, to reveal the true story of the air raids on Leicester.
