The Battle of Britain: The Myth and the RealityThe battle of Britain pitted the Hurricanes and Spitfires of the Royal Air Force against the Messerschmitts of 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.

The battle of Britain pitted the Hurricanes and Spitfires of the Royal Air Force against the Messerschmitts of 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, Richard 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. A necessary battle, it marked the end of Germany's string of victories, forestalled a German invasion, and kept Britain in the war.Binding Type: Paperback

10 /10

"I was impressed from the start—this cutter arrived quickly and the packaging was beautiful. The moment I held it, I noticed the weight—it feels solid and well-crafted. The engraved details are stunning. The mechanism opens smoothly, and when I made my first cut, it was flawless—no damage to the cigar at all. This is easily a 10/10 product for me!"

Great cutter!
Color: Yellow
Great cheap cutter/nubber/holder. I keep this in my pocket at all times. I have used the nubber many times, the cutter more times than I can count, and have yet to have a problem with this.
