We Think Some Eras Deserve An Encore...
Defiant!
Couldn't load pickup availability
'Defiant!’ is a word synonymous with the Sheffield Blitz.
It’s the word that described the stoical nature of the city’s public in the aftermath of the devastating attacks that killed and wounded over 2,000 people, left nearly a tenth of the city homeless and changed the face of the Steel City forever.
It certainly wasn’t a word that the Luftwaffe intended as an overarching memory.
‘Defiant!’ has been published to mark the 75th anniversary of the attacks and includes first hand accounts of key survivors – many that played vital roles on those two fateful nights and the aftermath.
The book is packed with scores of rare photos to provide the definite visual guide to the bombings of December 12th and 15th, 1940. It has been compiled by Neil Anderson – author of the best-selling Sheffield’s Date With Hitler.

Let customers speak for us
I've really enjoyed looking back on the memories of Sheffields music heritage and some of my old stomping grounds.
I have a couple of Neil's books and also remember him on the scene in the late eighties and early nineties.
The photos are great to reacquaint yourself with bygone days and it's so interesting to me to read all about those years when Sheffield was a thriving, great city. I'm so proud of Sheffields music history as I look back at bands such as Caberet Voltaire, the early Human League, ABC, Artery and Pulp.
I think it's great that Neil has done our cultural music history in Sheffield such justice as he has for other cities also.
I still have such fond memories of The Limit club especially and places like The Hallamshire pub, West Street, X Clothes, Impulse and Rebina Shoes. I still have a pair of my stiletto winkle pickers for posterity! 😁
Yes well done Neil for documenting all of this and some aspects of the best years of my young life. I'm sure lots of other folk feel the same about these books. They are a lovely keepsake to have especially as I'm about to leave this once great city and move on. 😊
Great quality as usual. My third purchase and once again very happy!
