Descriptionof The Thames at War. Saving London from the Blitz

Between 1940 and 1945, London was hit by 101 daytime and 253 night-time air raids by the Luftwaffe and V1 and V2 missiles. The result was 80,000 dead or seriously injured and appalling devastation. This superbly researched and illustrated book describes the important role and unsung achievements of the London County Council's emergency repair teams, led by Chief Engineer Thomas Peirson Frank. We also learn about the fate of London's docks and bridges and the ships, boats and barges that were lost in the estuary. 80 years on, this fascinating account, compiled by the Thames Discovery Programme team, pays tribute to the non-combatants who kept the great port running and saved London.
