Between May and October 1940, following Hitler's invasion of
western Europe and the evacuation of the Expeditionary Force from
Dunkirk, it was feared that the Germans would invade Britain. Over
a million men volunteered for the Home Guard, beaches were covered
with barbed wire, and pillboxes were scattered across the
countryside. But even amid this frenzy of preparation, many Britons
were indifferent to the perceived threat. In Don't Panic, Mark Rowe
presents the definitive account of Britain's 'finest hour'. Using
diaries, official documents and many previously unpublished
photographs, he recounts the history of the invasion that never
was, including how Churchill interfered with the defence of
Whitehall, the many false alarms such as the 'Battle of Bewdley',
and the general who boasted his orders were 'grandiloquent
b*ll*cks'. Moreover, it shows how the people of Britain sought to
defend their island against a truly formidable enemy, and how their
preparations arguably prevented the invasion from ever taking
place.
