Then a fearful accident injured both Blitz and his driver and the great fire horse days were over. Blitz was sold to a cruel master, and needed all of his courage and strength to live through the next few years. The story of how he is saved by the love and care of a boy, an do how he in turn is able to save a child's life makes a dramatic and moving book in the old tradition. There are happy times and sad times, and a warmth in the telling that will satisfy anyone who loves a great horse story.

The Blitz 1940–41

Autor: Julian Hale

Número de Páginas: 97

An illustrated history of how the Luftwaffe intended 'the Blitz' to knock Britain out of the war, emphasising the German point of view and detailing how Britain's defences and civilians responded. The Blitz - the German 'blitzkrieg' of Britain's industrial and port cities - was one of the most intensive bombing campaigns of World War II. Cities from London to Glasgow, Belfast to Hull, and Liverpool to Cardiff were targeted in an attempt to destroy Britain's military-industrial facilities and force it out of the war. Most histories of the Blitz concentrate on the civilian experience of 'life under the bombs' or the fighter pilots of the RAF but, in military terms, the Blitz was also the Luftwaffe's biggest and most ambitious strategic bombing campaign. Focusing on both sides, this book places particular emphasis on the hitherto under-represented Luftwaffe view of the campaign and looks at the new technology and tactics at its heart. From the innovative development of specialist night-fighters to the 'Battle of the Beams' that pitted German electronic navigation systems against British countermeasures, the Blitz demonstrated the effects of developing technology on aerial warfare....

After the Blitz

Autor: Stephen Moore

Número de Páginas: 298

From May 1941 to the end of night raids in 1943, Luftwaffe bombers attacked provincial cities across England, Scotland, and Wales. However, these air raids are not considered part of the Blitz—at least, not according to the British Official History. The official historiography maintains that the Blitz on the United Kingdom ended when aircraft were redeployed to support the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, after the final major raid against London that May. In After the Blitz: The Luftwaffe Bombing of Britain,1941–1943, author Stephen Moore argues that official histories minimize the impact of bombing on cities like Newcastle, Hull, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham because they use attacks on London to define the Blitz's chronological boundaries. By excavating British and German archives and cross-referencing government documentation with memoirs and secondary sources, Moore demonstrates that Britain suffered from Luftwaffe assaults well after the official end date of the Blitz and rescues the history of post-Blitz bombings from obscurity. After the Blitz cements itself in the historical record by confronting the official scholarship that has been foundational to ...

Autor: Mike Sidders

Número de Páginas: 140

To one that hunts, a dog is never just a dog. The partnership and bonding between owner and dog often cement to a point where the dog becomes as much of a hunting buddy as any of the two-legged kind. Simply put, the dog ultimately serves as confidant, comedian, and companion. And for one already in the midst of loss, the relationship is far deeper. It becomes one first of distraction, then of comfort, then of deep emotional bonding. Unfortunately, the relationship can end up as its own story of loss. It's, It's a Dog Named Blitz is the whirlwind story of a new puppy that came into a grieving young man's life, and how the relationship and adventures unfolded. It is a story about laughs, love, life, and loss, and how a rambunctious Yellow Labrador dog came to steal a breaking heart. 100%% of any profits generated by the sale of this book will be donated to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration: ftd-picks.org and The Alzheimer's Association: alz.org.
