The Few: July-October 1940 - Softcover
In the early days of World War Two when Britain stood alone against the terror of Hitler's all-conquering Third Reich, her future hung in the balance; her defence in the hands of the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the Royal Air Force's Fighter Command. They were Churchill's Few. In defiance of their own country's strict neutrality laws, a handful of American adventurers flew with them. This is their story - and a fresh perspective on the greatest air battle the world has ever seen.

Review:
'Epic storytelling . . . courage and comradeship with personal sacrifice. Kershaw's tone is enthusiastic and colourful; his style demotic and demonstrative; his research gives vivid voice to the "Few"' -- The Times
'Fine, deeply moving, scintillating . . . in the battle scenes this book soars heavenward like one of the Spitfires. By the end one is left feeling profoundly humble'
-- Sunday Telegraph
