Great Britain's refusal to yield to Nazi Germany in the Second World War remains one of the greatest survival stories of modern times. Rapid industrialization, social disruption, food rationing, Westminster politics, class snobbery, and the mobilization of a global empire are woven together with the major opening battles. For six years, Britain was at the dark heart of history, finding its way forward hour by hour, day by day, year by
Information and accessible Fuzzy's Mom Princess Fuzzypants here:This book covers a short number of years from 1937 to 1941. While it may not seem like a huge amount of time, it is event packed and pivotal in understanding not only the Britain of WWII but what followed in the Post War years.It starts with the Coronation of KIng George VI, the man who was not supposed to be King. Thankfully his brother misjudged his own importance and public opinion. With the sympathies he held, it would have been a much weakened Brit. Great I'm no more than 100 pages in, but this is a fascinating tome. The author's light and personal touch is perfectly suited for a very wide ranging social, economic and "military" history of this time. I feel like I'm getting a bird's eye view of England during these years. I'm anticipating the second volume. I was doubtful at first, but not for long. Interesting gripping history.
Taking the story up to the end of 1941, Todman provides us with a judicious guide to the road to war and its catastrophic first phase, offering in addition a shrewd portrait of Churchill which is worth the price of the book alone. This could have been a rather sentimental journey, but Todman tells their story with a light touch. "A decade ago, Daniel Todman made his mark with a decidedly revisionist book on World War I, "The Great War: Myth and Memory." In his second major work of popular history, "Britain's War: Into Battle, 1937-1941," he aims to modify our perceptions of the United Kingdom's role in World War II. Total history at its best.
