Description - The Right of the Line by John Terraine
Traditionally 'the right of the line' is the vanguard, the place of honour and greatest danger in battle. In this history of the Royal Air Force during the European War of 1936-45, John Terraine shows how the RAF, which in 1939 was small and inadequate for the task it was called upon to perform had, by the end of the war, taken up its proper position. He describes the build-up to war, the early tests in France and at Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Atlantic, the RAF in North Africa and the Mediterranean, the strategic air offensive over Germany and eventual victory in Europe. REVIEWS: 'His best book yet' - The Times 'John Terraine is a fine historian
but he also believes that history should be exciting and readable' The Listener 'The sheer depth and weight of his work are immensely impressive' Max Hastings The Spectator 'A very valuable contribution to military history
it will have a place of honour on the right of the bookshelf' Field-Marshall Lord Carver, Times Literary Supplement *
