Description
In his two highly - acclaimed accounts - Blitzkrieg and Fighter - the author dealt in considerable detail with events leading up to the Battle of Britain and exploded the myths that have collected around that event. In this book, he and Max Hastings add a third dimension to the story of how the " Few " defended Britain.
In a series of vivid snapshots they show for the first time the reality of the battle and how it was enacted by those who took part, whether in the air, on the ground, in the planning rooms or at home in the towns and villages. So effective is the compilation of words, pictures, maps and diagrams that it is hardly less dramatic than taking part in the battle itself. Rarely has an event in history been portrayed with such remarkable immediacy.
