The Most Dangerous Enemy - A History of the Battle of Britain - Grand Format

Hailed as the definitive work, whose comprehensiveness is unlikely to be surpassed, The Most Dangerous Enemy is a magnificently authoritative history and a truly compulsive narrative of the British battle that most symbolises the destiny of a nation. Whether assessing the development of radar, the aerodynamics of a Spitfire's wing or the crucial role played by Fighter Command's Keith Park, Stephen Bungay's rigorous re-investigation of "Our Finest Hour" uncovers many unexpected truths and questions just as many time-honoured myths — even the traditional estimation of Britain's victory as "a close-run thing".
