The War On Our
Doorstep ? Harriet
Salisbury
£1.99
Londons East Enders are known for being a tough, humorous & lively lot. In the early 20th century, families crowded into single rooms, children played on the streets & neighbours? doors were never locked in case you needed an escape route from the police... The Second World War changed everything. During the Blitz, men set off for work never to return & rows of houses were reduced to rubble overnight. Yet the East Enders? ability to keep calm & carry on cemented their reputation for cheerful resilience. They say Hitler killed off the bugs but, along with the slums, the Blitz destroyed a way of life. After the war families were scattered ? some to estates on the edge of London, others to isolated high-rise blocks. The old East End communities were gone forever. Told by the residents themselves, The War on Our Doorstep is an eye-opening, moving & laugh-out-loud depiction of what it means to be an East Ender. ...

Product Description

In these two compelling novels H.G. Wells imagines terrifying futures in which civilisation itself is threatened.

The narrator of The War of the Worlds is quick to discover that what appeared to be a falling star was, in fact, a metallic cylinder landing from Mars. Six million people begin to flee London in panic as tentacled invaders emerge & overpower the city. With their heat-ray, killing machines, black gas, & a taste for fresh human blood, is there anything that can be done to stop the Martians?

In The War in the Air, naive but resourceful Bert Smallways is thrilled by speed & fascinated by the new flying machines. His curiosity sweeps him away by accident into a German plan to conquer America, beginning with the destruction of New York. The ease of movement in aerial warfare means that nothing & nobody is safe as Total War erupts, civilisation crumbles, & Bert's hopes of getting back to London to marry his love seem impossibly distant.

This paperback book has 430 pages & measures: 19.7 x 12.6 x 2cm
