If only Forczyk was there in 1940, he would have made all the difference.

All other historians are stupid, according to Forczyk. He claims, that France was not ill prepared for war, but then cites laments of french soldiers that they were prepared for 1918, not 1940. He also claims, that UK did nothing to disrupt German rearmament, yet admits that UK bought steel from Sweden and main problem of German rearmament was deficit of steel. Simply put, for all his criticism of others, his own conclusions do not correspond to his findings. Also the abbreviations are a little too much and sometimes confusing.

As Is his pitiful custom, Forczyk fills his otherwise interesting book with pro-polish bias such as "Britain had in 1940 still one important ally - Poland" and annoying critique of everything Churchill and other ally leaders (except the Polish) did. Benefit of hindsight does not bother him at all, he is so full of himself, that he could have won WWI and WWII singlehandedly. Also the Sealion makes only small portion of the book.

Dry, biased, but most of all inconsistent. Autor arrives ať conclusions that do not arise from his oken text.
