The Bombing of Edinburgh & Leith 1939 - 1942 Launches Today & Covered in The Edinburgh Reporter

My newest book The Bombing of Edinburgh & Leith 1939 - 1942 launches today and the Edinburgh Reporter has put together a great article on it, in today's paper (see below).

The Bombing of Edinburgh & Leith (1939 to 1942) is a captivating account of the almost forgotten bombing raids on Edinburgh during World War 2. Featuring high quality recently discovered photographs and fascinating original reports, the book combines tragedy and farce to meticulously document the experiences of the ordinary population of Edinburgh and their extraordinary resilience, as we approach the eightieth anniversary of the war’s end.

All net proceeds from this book shall be donated to Edinburgh Lothian and Borders Police Historical Society.
