This is a comprehensive look at the people and buildings in just the "City of London" during the war years... There are lots of lists and a comprehensive detailing of what certain people were doing or where they died.

A rich and detailed look inside the armed police in London which is a long overdue book.
All the latest tactics and equipment as well as operations are covered in great detail which makes it the number one go to reference for this type of subject.
The author really knew their stuff and it comes across as you read through and look at the many accompanying photos.
This really deserves to be on everyone's book shelf.

While by no means an exhaustive list of serial killers, nor confined to only the most prolific, what the murderers in this collection have in common is their bloodlust. They all took sick, depraved pleasure in butchery, many of them descending to cannibalism. If you plan to read this, make sure you have a strong stomach and don’t read while trying to eat.
