Tom Hopman

This documentary book was produced as part of the British war effort to convince the US and other neutral countries that London was able to survive the Nazi aerial bombing campaign in 1940.

With numerous photos of the London Blitz by renowned war photographer Robert Capa, the book was designed to show the resilience and strength of the ordinary people of London at a time when the survival of the UK itself was at stake.

Later going on to document D-Day, this rare book is an excellent example of how Capa photographed the initial stages of WW2.
