Britain's War Machine
Archival Summary & Scope
David Edgerton's *Britain's War Machine* shatters the myth of World War II Britain as a plucky underdog. This bold history reveals a formidable, wealthy global power with advanced mechanized forces and a vast, worldwide production system. Edgerton explores how Britain, marshaling immense resources and technological innovation, mobilized extensively across multiple fronts, ultimately achieving a "cheap victory" while other nations bore the greater cost. This groundbreaking work offers an unsettling, global perspective on a major power in action.Archival Categorization Notes
