Reviews

This book provides a fascinating story and the various circumstances surrounding the famous Battle of Britain. ... It also presents background materials in eight appendices to give readers a broader view. ... This book is an interesting read. It contains many details, circumstances and backgrounds on various decisions, actions, influences, and postponements that have previously not been looked at, so it is valuable for those interested in British history. (Sonu Chandiram, Biz India Reviews, bizindia.net, December 2015)
