Sobre este artículo
New York and London: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 2001. xiv, 177 pages, maps; 22 cm. Originally published: The Battle. London: Penguin Books, 2000. Tight, clean copy. Stated First American edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "The Battle of Britain pitted the Royal Air Force against Hitler's Luftwaffe in the skies over England in 1940. It was immortalized in Churchill's words, 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few,' but it has since been debunked by revisionists as an inconclusive and even strategically flawed encounter for the British. In this assessment of the battle, author Overy restores the historical balance. He delivers shrewd judgments on the critical elements for both sides, from strategy to leadership, command organization, communications, and training to the technology of fighters, bombers, and radar. Overy shows that even if the popular myth overshoots the mark, the significance of the battle remains undiminished in the light of realistic judgments: it marked the end of Germany's string of victories, forestalled a German invasion, and kept Britain in the war." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo.
