The Battle of Britain;

This book was first published in 1980 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. It is now being reissued to commemorate the 50th anniversary. Max Hastings has written a new introduction to set it into modern perspective. In a series of vivid snapshots, the author shows us the reality of the most crucial battle of the World War II as it was enacted in flesh and blood by those on both sides who participated in the air, on the ground, in the planning rooms and in the homes.
