The day-by-day events occurring in the fourth phase of the Battle of Britain are chronicled and set within a much wide context, including the operations of Bomber and Coastal Commands and the Home Front. Explores primary sources, the analysis often challenging previous understanding and the popular narrative. Details how the Germans were forced to switch solely to nighttime bombing due to the counterattacks by British forces -- thus did the Luftwaffe see a 'daylight defeat.' Contains 32 mono illustrations.
