The agony of Singapore, for example, is seen through the eyes of its inhabitants, of its defenders, of Churchills Cabinet and of ordinary people at home. Each stage of the war, from the nadir of early 1942 to the great series of victories in 19445 and on to Indian independence, is described both as it was understood at the time and in the light of the very latest historical research.Britains War is a triumph of narrative, empathy and research, as gripping in its handling of individual witnesses to the war those doomed to struggle with bombing, rationing, exhausting work and above all the absence of millions of family members as of the gigantic military, social, technological and economic forces that swept the conflict along.
