Battle of Britain:
*Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain*by Phil Craig & Tim
Clayton -- companion to the PBS documentary -- and that may explain
the odd style quirk of sentence fragments, presumably in imitation of
the rhythms of the voice-over, but silly and irksome in print.
*Fighter: The True Story of the Battle of Britain by Len
Deighton -- yeah, him -- is detailed and technically thorough.
Deighton's book helped restore the reputation of Air Chief Marshall
Dowding as an heroic savior who won the battle and lost the political
infighting. For gearheads, there's quite detailed technical
descriptions of the aircraft.
*The Battle of Britain: The Greatest Air Battle of World
War II by Richard Hough & Denis Richards
*The Battle of Britain: The Myth and the Reality by
Richard Overy is shorter than the other books, but more scholarly
than, say, Deighton or Craig & Clayton -- although still quite
pleasantly readable with sharp comments on various figures. The tone
is that of a confidently assertive historian, certain of his data,
critical, and unsentimental.
*Five Days in London: May 1940 by John Lukacs is about the
event before the battle -- what nowadays is called the run-up -- and
describes much of the political machinations and the astonishing
events in which Guedarian nearly won World War II in a weekend or few
days. Like Overy, Lucaks writes with the asseverative tone of a
historian presenting conclusions, not questions.
