The Myth of the Blitz was nurtured at every level of society. It rested upon the assumed invincibility of an island race distinguished by good humor, understatement and the ability to pluck victory from the jaws of defeat by team work, improvisation and muddling through. Angus Calder provides a compelling examination of the events of 1940 and 1941 - when Britain stood alone against the Luftwaffe - and of the myth which sustained her "finest hour."
