Description

Bold and refreshing Korda writes with great elegance and flair. Wall Street Journal

Michael Kordas brilliant work of history takes the reader back to the summer of 1940, when fewer than three thousand young fighter pilots of the Royal Air Forceoften no more than nine hundred on any given daystood between Hitler and the victory that seemed almost within his grasp.

Korda recreates the intensity of combat in the long, delirious, burning blue of the sky above southern England and, perhaps, for the first time, traces the entire complex web of political, diplomatic, scientific, industrial, and human decisions that led inexorably to the worlds first, greatest, and most decisive air battle.

Winston Churchill memorable said about the Battle of Britain, Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. Here is the story of the few, and how they prevailed against the odds, deprived Hitler of victory, and saved the world during three epic months in 1940.
