The familiar image of the British in the Second World War is that of the plucky underdog taking on German might. David Edgerton's bold, compelling new history shows the conflict in a new light, with Britain as a very wealthy country, formidable in arms, and ruthless in pursuit of its interests. Rather than facing a mechanical Nazi monster, it had itself the world's most mechanised forces. Rather than being alone, it had not only a great empire, but allies large and small, and sat at the heart of a global production system.
