About this title

Review:

Deighton has managed to give the whole event a clarity which it lacked. Above all the machines mattered and on those he is tremendous. (Clive James New Statesman)

Compelling reading...a praiseworthy attempt to compress into one short volume one of the most vital albeit brief periods of European history, with all its nuances and complexities. (Financial Times)

Must surely rank as the most honest attempt yet to tell how the Battle of Britain really was. (Andrew Wilson Observer)

Brilliant analysis...provides a detailed account fuller than any previously written. (A.J.P. Taylor)

The best, most dispassionate story of the battle I have read, and I say that even though the book destroyed many of my illustrations. (Drew Middleton New York Times)

From the Publisher:
