Norwich in the Second World War cover

Norwich in the Second World War is the story of the city and its people, both civilian and military, from the construction of the first air raid shelters in 1938 through to VE Day in 1945 and the return of Far Eastern prisoners of war in 1946.

Featuring first-hand accounts of what happened when enemy bombers raided the city, notably during the notorious Baedeker Blitz of 1942, rare photographs and documents make this book a must for anyone who knows and loves the city of Norwich.

"To mark the 80th anniversary, this local historian has discovered previously untold stories and unpublished photographs of Norwich in wartime for this comprehensive and compelling account of life and events in the city from 1938 to 1945, richly illustrated with interviews, memoirs, maps and photographs."
