Battle of Britain

by Len Deighton

In this book, a series of vivid snapshots shows for the first time the reality of the Battle of Britain when Nazi Germany attacked Britain in 1940 & how the battle was enacted by those who took part, whether in the air, on the ground, in the planning rooms or at home in the town & villages. The battle was a pivotal point in the history of the 20th century. The compilation of words, pictures, maps & diagrams in this book portrays this historical event with remarkable immediacy.
