Double-weighted statement
This book is based on ten years of research, presented in highly compressed form. The scope of the research is exceptional too in that it covers the economic, technological, ideological, political and military aspects of Britain in the second world war, using a wide variety of sources, including film, industrial and government papers, political papers, statistical sources, etc. It revises many central standard concepts used to study Britain in the second world war. The book has 300 pages of text, 80 of notes, even though it is meant for, and reached, a general audience.
