Britain's Finest Hour revealed as a muddle of ineptitude and propaganda. Thoroughly researched and well written, Clive Ponting's book stands just about every preconceived notion concerning Britain's role in World War II on its head.—William L. O'Neill.
He brings everything together with enviable clarity and with an unusually sharp eye...He plots convincingly the processes by which decisions were made, or not made.
Outstanding...masterful...Ponting strips away the myths that have clouded a realistic approach to British problems in World War II.
Required reading for anyone with a serious interest in World War II.
Clive Ponting, formerly in the British civil service, specializes in British politics and contemporary history.
