Description

‘The most honest attempt yet to tell how the Battle of Britain really was’ Andrew Wilson, Observer

History is swamped by patriotic myths about the aerial combat fought between the RAF and the Luftwaffe over the summer of 1940. In his gripping history of the Battle of Britain, Len Deighton drew on a decade of research and his own wartime experiences to puncture these myths and point towards a more objective, and even more inspiring, truth.

‘Revolutionised thinking about the Battle of Britain in a way that has not been seriously challenged since’ The Times
