Description
Book SynopsisThe classic bestseller on the Battle of Britain, revised and updated.
Trade ReviewBrilliant ... This highly informative, moving series should form part of the National Curriculum. *
Daily Mail *
Beautifully made ... Achingly vivid. *
Guardian *
Compelling ... Mesmerizing stuff. *
Sunday Telegraph *
Manages to construct the tale in such a way that it breaks free of the text-book approach to transfix the viewer completely; the archive footage, the witness testimonies ... of such superior quality and so beautifully shot that the whole is fresh and absorbing ... Compiled with a pace that could put a lot of thrillers to shame, the result is television at its very best. *
Time Out *
From fighter-pilots risking their lives in the skies above England, to squaddies stranded at Dunkirk, to schoolgirls sent abroad to Canada (the book is worth buying just for Bess Walder's account of horror and redemption aboard the City of Benares), this is riveting. *
