The summer of 1940 remains a pivotal moment in modern British history - still inspiring immense national pride and a global fascination. The Fall of France was catastrophic. Britain stood alone and within range of German air attack. America, with its vast resources was neutral, Hitler's forces unbeaten, the outlook for Britain bleak. As Britain's wartime leader, Winston Churchill, rightly predicted, 'the Battle of Britain is about to begin'. In this study, veteran historian and author Dilip Sarkar explores the individual stories of a wide selection of those who lost their lives during the 'Finest Hour', examining their all-too brief lives and sharing these tragic stories.
