"Dilip Sarkar tells the story of this historic moment through the
experiences of participants who did not survive the battle."-- "New
York Journal of Books"
"Meticulously researched and affectingly written, Battle of Britain
is a bittersweet memorial to the unheralded casualties of 1940 and
their loved ones. At a time when key tropes and images of that
momentous year are routinely hijacked, manipulated, and reduced to
crass internet memes, Dilip Sarkar offers readers a sobering and
timely reminder that "'inest hours' leave a trail of terrible human
costs in their wake."-- "Michigan War Studies Review"
