1940
Myth and Reality
Clive Ponting
Discover the truth behind Britain's "Finest Hour" in a shocking account of the propaganda and ineptitude that marked 1940. Ponting's 1940: Myth and Reality reveals that Britain was broke and dependent on the US for aid, fabricated German casualty figures, and tried to secretly sue for peace. While Churchill made rousing speeches, he rarely broadcast to the nation. Explore stormy relations with France, bizarre attempts at a united Ireland, and the unpopularity of Winston Churchill. Individual heroism shines through, but the reality of 1940 is far from the myth.

Such a great book. I often get requests for recommended reading and I’m tempted to start a newsletter. Have had the pleasure of reading lots of marginal and out of print stuff over the last year. I want to share it! – fuente
