This title was selected for "Guardian" books of the year. David Edgerton's bold, compelling new history shows the conflict in a new light, with Britain as a very wealthy country, formidable in arms, ruthless in pursuit of its interests and sitting at the heart of a global production system. The familiar image of the British in the Second World War is that of the plucky underdog taking on German might.
Yet the end result was a vindication of this vision. The British, indeed Churchillian, vision of war and modernity was challenged by repeated defeat by less well equipped enemies. Like the United States, a powerful Britain won a cheap victory, while others paid a great price.
"Britain's War Machine", by putting resources, machines and experts at the heart of a global rather than merely imperial story, demolishes some of the most cherished myths about wartime Britain and gives us a very different and often unsettling picture of a great power in action.
