Eagle Day: The Battle of Britain (Cassell Military Classics)

Moment by moment, relive one of the most decisive events in World War Two. Collier's history of the Battle of Britain, drawing heavily on eyewitness accounts from combatants in both the RAF and the Luftwaffe, has become an established classic, a compelling story of history in the making. Trace the true course of actions as they unfolded between August 6th and September 15, 1940--a period of slightly more than a month that may have determined the fate of the world. Over the English Channel, all across southern Britain, and right into the heart of the savagely fought confrontation, go where the commanders of both sides made their decisions, along with those who fought and experienced this tumultuous time.
