After struggling with a number of books this one really held my interest.very cleverly narrated, detailed plotting drives the pace forward.
Long and very detailed but I had to force myself to finish it.

A great disappointment. I love some of his other work. I give three stars because of the material about the flight and the flying boat, the characters, plot and narrative I felt were not worthy of his ability.
Hooray for a book that actually uses some maps and photographs to enable the reader to visualise what was happening. A shame that all the manoeuvring prior to the battle lacks maps entirely. It would have also been useful to get a picture of the actual troops - and their weapons and tactics. It’s a very transitional period of war technology and this whole area is just skipped over.
I just gave up on this, it’s the usual mash of stuff which has no actual grounding in reality.
Very easy reading and a great companion to his podcasts
