Covering the pre-history of 1940 in Britain, Malcolm Smith explores the great fear that a second world war would perhaps mean the end of British civilization and charts the development of the myths of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, and the great influence they have had on our national consciousness and on attitudes to the outside world.
The book presents students of British history with a panorama of the influences that have constructed national consciousness around a crucial moment in British history.

This is a fascinating and well-written book, and a more than useful interpretative history of twentieth-century Britain. - Keith Laybourn, University of Huddersfield, Social History Society Bulletin, 2001'This is a welcome and thought-provoking approach to a well-worked subject.' - History, July 2002
'... a very valuable and articulate contribution to our understanding of 1940.' - Stephen Brooke, Twentieth Century British History, February 2002

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
