Deighton, Len

1st edition hardback in dj, a very good clean copy, no previous owner marks. Slight age browning to pages, hard covers very good and dj is clean and unmarked, now in removable vinyl covering. Title on spine is a little faded but overall this is an excellent copy showing negligible shelf wear. This is Len Deighton's history of the Battle of Britain, with an introduction by A.J.P Taylor. His skill as a novelist is used to show how the human factor influenced every twist and turn of the close-fought battle. For people who have been brought up to believe wartime propaganda, reading this sobering account of the battle will come as a shock and for the first time the battle is described as much from the German as from the British point of view.
