About the Book

In September 1944 Hitler unleashed on London his ultimate Vengeance Weapon - the V-2, a ballistic missile that arrived without warning, demolished entire streets and against which there was no defence. The development of the top secret V-2 ballistic missile began almost as soon as Hitler came to power, but frequent problems with technical issues meant that a working prototype did not appear until 1942 and the first V-2 was fired in anger in 1944. When the V-2 entered service it sent shock waves through the Allied high command. Arriving at speeds faster than the speed of sound, the V-2 arrived without warning, but with enough force to destroy an entire street. The death tolls from V-2 blasts could be horrific, with more than 140 people being killed in an instant. And against these terror weapons, London had no defence. The parabolic flight path of the V-2 meant they climbed almost to space before falling back down to smash London. In this book defence analyst Andrew May traces the development of the V-2 from pre-war pipe dreams to horrific reality. He looks at the reasons why Hitler unleashed the fury on London and how the Allies responded - and at the impact the campaign had on ordinary Londoners. A true tale of terror, horror and courage.
