57: Advance Britannia: How the Second World War Was Won, 1942-1945

Alan Allport

By 1942, Britain’s war had entered a decisive and deeply complex phase. No longer fighting alone, the nation now stood alongside unlikely allies while the human cost of conflict remained relentless at home and abroad. Alan Allport, Professor of History at Syracuse University, New York, brings this pivotal period vividly to life, exploring how the war was experienced not just on the front lines, but in ration queues, air-raid shelters and the corridors of power. Blending powerful storytelling with social history, Allport reveals how the final years of the Second World War reshaped Britain forever.
