It's Raining! by Gail Gibbons
This book is an attempt to put into cold reality Churchill's famous rhetoric about 'fighting in the streets, beaches and landing grounds' to resist a German invasion early in the Second World War.
The book, written by a Scots Guards officer, explores terrain, methods of attack and defence; the use of explosives; arms and equipment; training and exercises and is aimed at the Home Guard.
