By the Summer of 1940 much of Europe had been conquered by Adolf Hitler's armed forces.  The only thing that stood between him and total victory was the English Channel and a pitifully small number of British R.A.F. pilots and aircraft.  Against this backdrop, the book Finest Hour: The Battle Of Britain, is a powerful account, told through the voices, diaries, letters, and memoirs of the men and women who lived and loved, fought and died during the Summer and Fall of 1940.  The authors tell the personal stories of these soldiers and airmen, diplomats and politicians, journalists and spies and combine this with the swirling political intrigues and betrayals of the period.  This book is 349 pages and is in like new condition.  The authors are Tim Clayton and Phil Craig.  Edition published in 1999.
