'In 1940,the first full year of the Second World War,Britain was on the verge of being occupied.The Germans forces had swept west,pushing the British and French to Dunkirk,and invasion by Germany seemed inevitable.The Battle of Britain turned the tide.This book . . . tells the story of that year in the words of the ordinary people caught up in the war - pilots,
soldiers,sailors,drivers,secretaries,nurses and civilians.Using interviews,diaries,
letters and memoirs,the story is told with an immediacy that fiction could not achieve.' - The Guardian.
