Blitzkrieg. From the Rise of Hitler to the Fall of Dunkirk

Len Deighton brings to bear all the skills of a best-selling novelist in this compelling study.

In Blitzkrieg, Len Deighton turns a searchlight on the rise of Hitler, the lightning dash of his armies to the Channel coast in 1940 and on the debacle of Dunkirk, where — in a mistake that was to trigger his eventual downfall — a quarter of a million British troops were allowed to escape.

Len Deighton is the author of over thirty bestsellers of carefully researched fiction and non-fiction. His books include Fighter: The True Story of the Battle of Britain, and Blood, Tears and Folly: An Objective Look at World War II.
