A new book in my library. (58 Viewers)
- Thread starter Wayne Little
- Start date
I've made a start on this:
I don't always find myself agreeing with Overy (particularly his take on the BoB) but he is a good writer and historian and my initial impressions are good.
A word of caution for those across the pond. There is a US version of this book which is several hundred pages shorter and omits the first two and a bit years of the war. Frankly I think that is an insult to the intelligence of American readers. People buying this book are going to have an interest in history and the development of the bombing campaigns of WW2 from the start, not just after the US joined the war, and they will be denied this in the shorter version.
Cheers
Steve
