[Bruce Dennis]

In my opinion, the two best studies of the 'myth v. reality' versions of the Second World War are ...

'BLOOD, TEARS and FOLLY: An objective look at World War 11' (1993, Jonathan Cape & 1995 Pimlico p/b) by Len Deighton

and

'BLOOD, SWEAT and ARROGANCE and the Myths of Churchill's War' (2006 Weidenfeld & Nicolson) by Gordon Corrigan

Both address the technology clashes and both, especially Deighton, are convincing in their conclusions. Corrigan (a lecturer at Sandhurst) has a bit too much fun with pulling Churchill's tail but both make it plain that it was the British systems INTRODUCED IN RESPONSE TO THE WAR that defeated the German systems which suffered fragmentation after a potentially dominant beginning.

(IMHO) they should be considered essential reading.
