This is the Blitz story from a fresh new perspective – through the eyes of a small boy and his gang of streetwise Bomb Alley Kids. It was the worst of times for adults, thrust into the front line of the war by relentless night-bombing, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. It was maybe the best of times for children, with every bombsite, aeroplane and wailing siren holding a promise of pleasurable terror. In this personal memoir, John Bull – a former News of the World columnist – perfectly captures the tragicomic, often farcical, events of everyday survival and the tribal stubbornness that stopped the Brits from ‘chucking it in’.
