Description
The familiar Britain in the Second World War is that of the plucky underdog taking on German might. David Edgerton's bold, compelling new history shows the conflict in a new light, with Britain as a very wealthy country, formidable in arms, powerful in production, and ruthless in pursuit of its interests.
