Media Reviews
Brilliant...an excellent book...A very fine slice of martial life from a military historian at the top of his form. * Independent on Sunday *
A simple idea - twenty-four hours in a war - but it requires a tremendous fund of knowledge to do it justice. John Ellis, one of our very best young historians, has all the credentials for such a vast and detailed epic...It will satisfy experts and yet provide a gripping basic history for students tackling the complexities of World War Two for the first time. -- Len Deighton
