商品描述内容简介"The Battle of Britain" tells the extraordinary story of one of the pivotal events of the Second World War - the struggle between British and German air forces in the late summer and autumn of 1940. Exposing many of the myths surrounding the conflict, the book provides answers to important questions: how close did Britain really come to invasion; what were Hitler and Churchill's motives; and, what was the battle's real effect on the outcome of the war.
