JAMES HOLLAND – on The Battle of Britain

To mark its seventieth anniversary and drawing on extensive new research from around the world, acclaimed historian James Holland has written a first narrative history of the Battle of Britain.

His new book provides a complete picture of that fateful summer in 1940.

Telling the story of the titanic clash between Britain and Germany from both sides, this groundbreaking work also examines, for the first time, the conflict on land, sea and at home, as well as in the air.

Hot off the press, this highly-acclaimed work is likely to be the definitive version of a period of extraordinary drama, a time when the fate of the western world hung by a thread.
