Major new book by leading columnist Peter Hitchens, who debunks the myths about Britain’s role in ‘The Good War’
Peter Hitchens is a journalist and commentator. He has a weekly column in the Mail on Sunday and is the author of several books, including The Abolition of Britain; The Cameron Delusion; The Rage Against God and The War We Never Fought.
Hitchens devotes much of his indictment to the war at sea, arguing
that the Navy had been starved of resources between the wars and
was ill-equipped to fight the all-important Battle of the Atlantic
against the Nazi U-boat fleet. He regales the reader with touching
stories from his days at boarding school, when he and his friends
built plastic models of warships.
