“Part military history, part chronicle of survivors’ memories and part moving tribute to London, the result is reminiscent of Richard Collier’s The City That Would Not Die, but is a captivating and important contribution in its own right…Mortimer’s dramatic renderings of what Londoners and German and British military men experienced make for compelling nonfiction.” – Kirkus Reviews
“A microscopic analysis of this night frozen in time.” – Mail on Sunday (London)
