First Edition
"The year is 1940, and Hitler's triumphant armies are rolling across Europe, leaving in their wake a trail of devastation unparalleled in human history. In a crushing 'Blitzkrieg' campaign, the Wehrmacht has compelled Holland, Belgium, and France to surrender. Now, only Britain stands alone against the Reich . . . . Written by a brilliant military historian who is the author of many books on the Second World War, Invasion is a unique reinvestigation of the forces, resources, and options open to both England and Germany in that fateful summer of 1940" [from the dust jacket].
