WINNER OF THE HWA NON-FICTION CROWN
A TIMES AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Britain's wartime story has been told many times, but never as cleverly as this.' Dominic Sandbrook
In the bleak first half of the Second World War, Britain stood alone against the Axis forces. Isolated and outmanoeuvred, it seemed as though she might fall at any moment. Only an extraordinary effort of courage - by ordinary men and women - held the line. The Second World War is the defining experience of modern British history, a new Iliad for our own times. But, as Alan Allport reveals in this, the first part of a major new two-volume history, the real story was often very different from the myth that followed it. From the subtle moral calculus of appeasement to the febrile dusts of the Western Desert, Allport interrogates every aspect of the conflict - and exposes its echoes in our own age.
We all know that the French thought that the Ardennes was 'unpassable to tanks' and only put some weak cavalry divisions there.....
I am going to listen to it again as soon as I finish it as it deserves that.
Good narration, which I found added to my experience.
This is very Good
