"An emotionally stirring account of the single most devastating attack on London during the Blitz... A captivating and important contribution... History that reads like a novel."--Kirkus

The untold story of the massive bombing raid that almost brought Britain to military collapse, The Longest Night reveals just how close the Luftwaffe came to total victory. On the night of May 10, 1941, Nazi Germany sent some five hundred aircraft to drop more than seven hundred tons of explosives on London. This vivid, dramatically told account depicts how fate shifted based on Hitler's mistaken belief that he'd actually lost the air war over Britain, and portrays the unsurpassed, we-can-take-it bravery of the British people when they'd been pushed beyond all human endurance.

"An excellent book... Gavin Mortimer has interviewed scores of survivors for his gripping narrative."--Andrew Roberts, The Wall Street Journal
