THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN SET WILLINGLY ABOUT THEIR TASK, REVEALING INCREDIBLE DEPTHS OF DETERMINATION, BRAVERY, IMPROVISATORY GENIUS AND DOGGED STOICISM. FROM THE SMALLEST CHILD TO THE WOMEN WHO SUPPLIED THE TROOPS AND TO THE MEN WHO MANNED THE DEFENCES, EVERY BRITON STOOD UP TO THE NAZIS’ FURY.

THE LITTLE BOOK OF BRITAIN AT WAR TELLS HOW THOSE PEOPLE TOOK ON THE MIGHT OF A PITILESS, IMMENSELY POWERFUL WAR MACHINE – AND WON.
