Oh please. Then write a book about killing Jews. This book, based on comments here, is a train wreck. The praise of various people I've never heard of is not to the author's credit either. An account of the Luftwaffe with the varnish removed? And who applied this varnish? The British press? The pilots who were part of the Battle of Britain?

I've seen this before. Put the "testimonials" at the top to sell the book. As a potential reader, my first concern is, how much of this book is actually about the Battle of Britain? 10%? Less?
