Work Description

At the end of June 1940, with Western Europe overrun by the Germans, the Nazi war leaders knew that RAF Fighter Command had to be subdued before the invasion of Britain could take place. They set about this destruction early in July. High above the summer fields, Churchill's few fought with unsurpassed courage and skill. The battle was a national crusade that united the British people and was followed with awe and deep anxiety by the Western world. - Back cover.
