Slotting in nicely between Tooze's Wages of Destruction and John Ellis's Brute Force, it dispells many myths surrounding Britain and its involvement and capabilities in WW2. Buy if you enjoyed Tooze, don't buy if you didn't.

Between trying to figure how my own book is doing, I've been reading Stacey Schiff's study of Cleopatra. I find it educating and useful, but at times a tad too lyrical and 'prosey'. Perhaps I'm just jealous I don't have her way with words. Also, Bob, Lunde's book looks like a really interesting read. Let us know if it does its subject justice.dit: Lirelou
