Description

Secret Britain: A Journey Through the Second World War's Hidden Bases & Battlegrounds by Sinclair McKay is a compelling exploration of the clandestine side of wartime Britain. Bestselling historian and author McKay guides readers through a lesser-known but equally critical part of Britain’s World War II history — the secret places where strategy, resistance, and survival took shape behind the scenes.

Published by Headline, this A5-sized book ventures beyond well-trodden narratives to spotlight the hidden infrastructure that supported Britain during its darkest hours. From shadowy training camps and decoy towns to underground bunkers and remote landing strips, McKay vividly brings to life the places where wartime secrecy met everyday resilience.

Combining field research, archival discoveries, and evocative storytelling, McKay weaves in personal accounts and eyewitness stories that give voice to those who served in these forgotten corners. Readers are taken on a journey across Britain — from the Scottish Highlands and Welsh valleys to southern coastlines and industrial heartlands — uncovering how the geography of secrecy shaped the outcome of the war.

Ideal for World War II historians, readers of military non-fiction, and fans of hidden history, Secret Britain uncovers the untold landscapes of conflict, resistance, and ingenuity. It's a powerful and atmospheric read that reveals how wartime Britain was fortified in ways that still echo today — sometimes hidden in plain sight.

Soft and fluffy after a wash & dry
Color: 02 Ashley Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70"), Color: 02 Ashley Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Perfect, lightweight and warm. I got this for a chaise that I use. It’s not thick, but enough to keep you warm and cozy if you’re just reading and relaxing. I washed it and dried it as soon as I took it out of the box. It fluffed out perfectly, so don’t be fooled by the flattened squishy blanket that arrives. It doesn’t shed, which is a bonus.

High Quality Comfort!
Color: 01 Sage Green, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
This is definitely one of the most comfortable blankets I have ever owned. The material is thick, soft, warm, durable, and resistant to shedding & fibers breaking off. All of these favorable qualities work together to create optimal sleep conditions, and I would say it protects against cold temperatures in the environment (natural air & A/C, for example) very well. It is SO extremely cozy!!! It has become a comfort item of sorts, as well. It fits my Queen-sized bed absolutely perfectly. I've been searching for a blanket to fit my entire bed, and this blanket most definitely is the one. When this blanket is nearby, it's nap time! I love the the slightly raised texture of this blanket's material, and the checkered pattern adds a subtle, yet stylish touch to its overall appearance.

Loving my Bedsure Blanket
Color: Cream, Size: King (108" X 90")
I love this blanket. It’s for summer use & is the perfect weight. I feel both cozy and cool! Plus color & size are as shown. I washed it immediately and it was easy & came out soft; no shrinkage or shedding in the dryer.

Very soft. Light Blue is more of a sky blue
Color: Light Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Very soft, pretty thin, and a little stretchy. Overall, it looks nice. I would say it's a little thin for the colder weather, but great for the warmer months. I got the light blue, and it is a little more sky blue than true baby blue. I wish it were a true blue, but it's close enough that I'll keep it rather than go through the return process. I washed it, and little fuzzies came free, but nothing too alarming for a first wash. Hopefully, it doesn't do that every time. With how thin it is, there'll be nothing left eventually.
