Review of 'The Battle of Britain' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A detailed and balanced history of the Second World War in Western Europe and Britain from May until October 1940. Germany’s invasion of the Netherlands, Belgium and France, the battle of Dunkirk and the subsequent evacuation, Churchill’s becoming prime minister, and some information on U-boat and S-boat warfare are all included, so the title might be misleading depending on what you think the Battle of Britain means. For me, it was at first a mild irritation and then a welcome bonus. I don’t think you can read this quickly, but what’s the rush? The history includes multiple individual pilot accounts on both sides, many photographs, maps, and diagrams.
