'There is no silly sensationalism in this book, merely sound storytelling and measured judgments. Admirably provocative' Max Hastings, Sunday Times. 'As complete and compelling a picture of Britain in the Second World War as one could hope to read' Phillips O' Brien. 'A. must read for anyone who is interested in what really happened in World War 2' Anne Sebba. 'There isn't a better history of the Second World War than this remarkably fresh account' David Edgerton. By 1942, Churchill faced a vastly different war than the one he'd inherited from Neville Chamberlain. Britain was no longer alone; the Soviets were now an unlikely ally in the East, and Pearl Harbor had finally pushed America into action. Yet the scale of violence remained unchanged. On average, seven British men, women and children were killed every hour of the Second World War. The country would never be the same again. In Advance Britannia. , historian Alan Allport reveals the war as it was lived - from the battlefields to the ration books, in the War Ministry and in the air raid shelters. Mixing social history with dramatic storytelling, this is a definitive account of the war that reshaped the world.
