Description
In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone against the might of Hitler's Germany. The threat of invasion loomed large, and Winston Churchill used this fear to unite the nation behind him. But was the scare about an imminent German invasion as dire as it seemed? Historian Michael Glover examines the mood of British people that summer, the German ability to mount an amphibious invasion, and Britain's capacity to repel such a threat. He shows how the perceived danger served the British cause, while also revealing Hitler's ultimate downfall was all but certain. This is not a tale of triumph or self-congratulation, but rather a nuanced assessment of one of history's most significant invasion scares.
