Drawing
on new material from the archives of the Imperial War Museum Malcolm Brown
skilfully recreates this pivotal year through the eyes of the men and
women who experienced the war first-hand, vividly capturing the brutality
of war as well as the moments of humanity.
How
German forces managed to halt the Allied advance and prolong the war until
1945.
The
Imperial War Museum holds a vast archive of interviews with soldiers,
sailors, airmen and civilians of most nationalities who saw action during
WW2. As in the highly acclaimed Forgotten Voices of the Great War, Max
Arthur and his team of researchers will spend hundreds of hours digging
deep into this unique archive, uncovering tapes, many of which have not
been listened to since they were created in the early 1970s.
A
Sunday Times top ten bestseller in hardcover, Spitfire Ace provides a
vivid portrait of the few that flew in the Battle of Britain, 1940. The
Battle of Britain, 1940, was one of the most famous air battles in the
history of warfare and it is a story of ruthless organisation, brilliant
control and command.
Hew
Strachan brings his immense knowledge to a one-volume work aimed squarely
at the general reader. The inspiration for and a companion volume to the
major Channel 4 series of the same name. Shows how the war shaped
the 'short' twentieth century that followed it.
Juliet
Gardiner has had access to a staggering wealth of rich, new material which
covers all aspects of the conflict from conscription, rationing,
propaganda and censorship to the plight of separated families, lack of
money, entertainment and victory. This is a truly authoritative,
comprehensive and involving perspective of the war years at home.
Historian
Richard J Aldrich has spent two decades collating the information from
diaries such as these to produce two anthologies which, recounted in the
first person, are as close to the living experience of the Second World
War as we are ever likely to come. This is the first of the anthologies
focusing on the war in Europe.
Lord
Londonderry, the Nazis and Britain's road to War. Account of
Britain's ambiguous relations with Germany before the Second World War.
