The Years of Attrition: 1940-1941

The years 1940 and 1941 were the most disastrous of the whole war for Britain, fighting alone after the fall of France in June 1940. Drawing on memoirs, war archives and interviews the author takes us behind the scenes and shows us what those years really meant to both the great and to the unknown, revealing that while 1940 and 1941 was a time of incredible folly, it was also a time of great bravery.
