The Blitz: Britain on Fire

Michael Buerk, Angellica Bell and Rob Bell tell the story of eight days in May 1941, when Britain, and Liverpool in particular, was subjected to intense bombardment. They focus on Margaret Johnson, a mother of six who had been bombed out of one home, and Mary Lawson, a promising film star in 1940s Britain. Plus, a look at Churchill's morale-boosting tour of bombed Britain.
