"Bestselling author Max Arthur's landmark oral history of the Battle of Britain, sharing the voices of those who were there"
"Max Arthur is the author of best-selling Forgotten Voices of the Great War and Forgotten Voices of the Second World War. His last book, The Dambusters, is one of The Times / WH Smith's '50 Paperbacks of the Year' for 2009."
"Vastly outnumbered and often less experienced than their opponents, the 2,500 young men of the Royal Air Force who fought in the Battle of Britain would be lauded by Churchill as The Few. The survivors of that campaign are now in their eighties or nineties, their ranks thinning by the year. In his new book, Last of the Few, Max Arthur brings together the voices of the living and the dead to recreate the events of July-October 1940, when vapour trails against a blue sky marked the battle to save civilisation" Daily Telegraph "Entertaining and moving ... This is a brilliant introduction for anyone seeking to understand the origins and outcomes of the battle. A dramatic tale, well told" News of the World
