I Saw England by Ben Robertson

" In this volume, written at top speed from notes made on the spot, a veteran American newspaper man tells you just what they have to face, and how they face it. Ben Robertson went to England last year (1940). In the course of his work he travelled all over the British Isles--Dover, London, the Midlands, Scotland, Ireland. He visited Coventry immediately after its terrible bombing. He covered London with the firemen; he talked with RAF men in their stations; he went out with ARP parties and ambulance men on duty; he slept in air-raid shelters and talked with people of every sort under all kinds of conditions.

Graphically written and full of revealing anecdote, it resents as fine a picture as we have had of Britain at war, and an absorbing and moving narrative."
