Review:
This excellent book captures it all. There's a superb account of the codebreakers at Bletchley and the aerial-photograph analysts at Medmenham. Campbell puts it all together beautifully. * Evening Standard (London) * Gripping . . . Investigative historian Campbell writes with the pace and tension of a thriller * Daily Express * Well-researched and digestible . . . * Chris Pavone, Herald * This impressively researched yarn takes off like its deadly subjects . . . Campbell deftly unpicks the tangled story that climaxed in 168 deaths in a Woolworth's in New Cross and 500 in The Hague when the RAF tried to take out the V2 launch site. * Tim Birkhead, Independent * Campbell conveys these parallel narratives with suspense in a tale that contains numerous twists -- Christopher Silvester * Express * Campbell breaks new ground . . . by combining [the story of Peenemunde] with the story of those on this side of the Channel who tried to chart the rocket scientists' progress through information gleaned from spies, prisoners of war and the code breakers of Bletchley Park . . . an accomplished study -- Peter Conradi * The Sunday Times * The story is a fascinating blend of drama and symbolism and Campbell has concocted a narrative mix as rich as the ethanol and liquid oxygen cocktail that blasted the V-2 heavenwards -- Patrick Bishop * Standpoint * The writing is clear and the story compelling -- Michael Sherborne * Mail on Sunday * Detailed and well-researched . . . he has some fascinating material on London's response to this onslaught -- Dominic Sandbrook * The Scotsman *

Investigative historian Christy Campbell brilliantly interweaves the many strands of this gripping episode. At the heart of this tale is London - the target of Nazi Germany's plan to crush British morale. * The stunningly dramatic true story of the threat to London from Nazi Germany's V-rockets, from their inception and invention to their effect on our city streets Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
