PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

An engrossing account of the inventive, covert operation waged during the Second World War to save Britain’s priceless historical heritage. Weaving together lesser-known histories, learn how stately homes, Tube tunnels, slate mines, prisons, and quarries became home to the greatest paintings, artefacts and literary treasures of the nation for the duration. Discover the engaging story of the mild-mannered civil servants and social oddballs who fought to protect our greatest works of art. From phoney war preliminaries to Blitz-torn crisis: a salute to the men and women who kept calm and carried on to protect the past in a war-torn present.
