Personalities and plans figure heavily into this. The actual conduct is not the focus, so if you want action look elsewhere. As an American, I was a bit surprised at the degree the author took Monty to task for the conduct of Overlord and the poor communication between he and the air commands. Good reading if you are a wonk on WW2, probably not if you are just a casual reader. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Traditionally, the right of the line is the vanguard, the place of honour and greatest danger in battle. In this history of the Royal Air Force during the European War of 1939-45, John Terraine shows how the RAF, which in 1939 was small and inadequate for the task it was called upon to perform had, by the end of the war, taken up its proper position. He describes the build-up to war, the early tests in France and at Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Atlantic, the RAF in North Africa and the Mediterranean, the strategic air offensive over Germany and eventual victory in Europe.His best book yet The TimesJohn Terraine is a fine historian but he also believes that history should be exciting and readable The Listener No library descriptions found. |
