<p><em>When the first notes of the air-raid sirens sounded on the evening of 10 May 1941, few citizens even bothered going into the shelters.</em></p><p><em>The Longest Night</em> reveals the untold story of the horrific bombing raid that almost brought Britain to military collapse - using extensive survivors'' testimony and previously classified documents to reveal just how close the Luftwaffe came to total victory. This vivid, dramatically told account depicts how fate shifted based on Hitler''s mistaken belief that he''d actually lost the air war over Britain - and portrays the unsurpassed ''we-can-take-it'' bravery of the British people when they''d been pushed beyond all human endurance.</p>
