Blitzed Brits was the 3rd Horrible Histories book that was published in 1994 by Terry Deary. It contains information about Britain during World War II, including what British citizens had to do during air raids, what the R.A.F., Royal Navy and British Armed Forces were doing during the Second World War, and the rationing in Britain. It had a cover makeover in 2007.
