Hardback. First Edition. The Longest Night. After eight months of bombing, Londoners thought the worst was over. The nightly raids seemed to have stopped and although large parts of the city had been devastated, life was returning to normal. On the afternoon of Saturday 10 May 1941, 60,000 fans gathered at Wembley to watch Arsenal face Preston North End in the Cup Final. Vera Lynn drove in for a concert. Journalist gathered in the bar at the Savoy. But the football match began and shoppers thronged the streets, the German air bases in France were equally busy. Hitler had ordered a final fall-out attack: over 400 bombers loaded with incendiaries prepared to hit London witgh a rain of fire. The author reveals what it was like to live in a city under attack. Everyday life somehow continued, but London was changed forever. His research has taken him all over the country and he has interviewed many survivors of this last great raid. In a matter of hours 1,436 Londoners were killed; 1,800 injured and 11,000 houses destroyed. Of the emergency services, thirty-six firement were killed and 289 wounded. This is a story of destruction and determination, heroism and horror: London's longest night.

The ruins of the Incas and other pre-Colombian civilisations are scattered over thousands of miles of still largely uncharted territory, particularly in the Eastern Andes, where the mountains fall away towards the Amazon.Twenty-five years ago, Hugh Thomson set off into the cloud-forest on foot to find a ruin that had been carelessly lost again after its initial discovery. Into his history of the Inca Empire he weaves the story of his adventures as he travelled to the most remote Inca cities. It is also the story of the great explorers in whose footsteps he followed, such as Hiram Bingham and Gene Savoy." ., Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2001, 4<
