- Reader Remarks: The Finest of the Series (February 4, 2004). After reading this book, you truly begin to see how narrow minded the average American perception of World War II really is. Not to discount the magnificant American battles such as the landing at Normandy or the Battle for Midway, but the Battle for Britain was absolutely the finest display of honor and courage throughout the entire war. This tiny island and it"s courageous people stood alone and stood tall against not only the behemoth Nazi-German menace, but at the same time fought the Mussolini in northern Africa and awaited the Japanese onslaught in their Australasian colonies. It"s an absolutely inspiring work, and it"s an absolute sin that American schools don"t teach the story of how the British people shined so brightly during their darkest hour. IBDoF Notes: Original 1949 synopsis by author: "How the British people held the fort ALONE til those who hitherto had been half blind were half ready."
