I just finished reading Michael Korda's book "With Wings Like Eagles"
It wasn't terrible but I cant say I would recommend it. For instance, his questionable praise of Chamberlain's appeasement policy with regard to Germany and his subsequent claim that Chamberlains plan was to buy time so England could rearm is a stretch, as are a few other of his personal opinions of the political leadership of that time.
The book is more of a political review of the major players involved and less of a study of the battle.
The first red flag for me was on the very 1st page after you flip the cover, a page titled "Praise for With Wings Like Eagles",
at the bottom of the page and I quote, "A gripping tale, brilliantly told of-as Michael Korda so rightly puts it- the greatest battle of the 20th century, and possibly, given the stakes, of all history." -Winston S. Churchill
Apart from the "all of history" part is the fact that Mr. Churchill had been dead for over 4 decades before this book was 1st published. I don't know how an error like that got past the proof readers.
Another is that Mr. Korda was Editor-in-Chief at Simon and Schuster where he worked for more than 40 years but this book was published by Harper and Collins. Why?
There are many better books to choose from IMO.
