Description

The Battle of Britain: Attack of the Eagles is a meticulously researched account of the pivotal aerial conflict in the summer of 1940. Renowned historian Dilip Sarkar delves into the intricate details of this epic struggle, drawing upon his extensive research and interviews with survivors and relatives of casualties. Sarkar's narrative spans from August 13 to 18, 1940, a period marked by intense fighting between Fighter Command and the Luftwaffe. The author critically analyses key events, including the defeat of the Stuka dive-bomber and the great attack on north-east England on August 15. He also examines the courageous actions of Flight Lieutenant James Brindley Nicolson, who won the Victoria Cross over Southampton. Through this in-depth examination, Sarkar provides a nuanced understanding of the Battle of Britain's most critical phase, shedding light on the human side of this pivotal moment in history.
