Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain

Nick,

As a working book editor who handles historical references, I cannot agree in this case. When reading about the Battle of Britain, anything else is unwanted and inappropriate. I'm not going to write a book about fly fishing and include anything beyond the topic. That's all I'm saying.

All history books about the Second World War should be understood to start with the unspoken: So far as is known as of this writing.

It's one thing to miss some relevant books that connect to the Battle, but quite another to turn a book into the author's personal soapbox. When writing a book, there are rules. This author ignored them.
