À propos de ce contenu audio

During the third week of February 1944, the combined Allied air forces launched their first-ever round-the-clock bomber offensive against Germany.

The aim was to smash the main factories and production centres of the Luftwaffe and draw the German fighter force up into the air and into battle. Officially called Operation ARGUMENT, this monumental air assault very quickly became known simply as Big Week.

Following the fortunes of pilots, aircrew and civilians from both sides, Big Week is a blistering narrative of one of the most critical periods of the entire war, one that culminated in the largest air battle ever witnessed.

This was a good introduction to the war in the airs over Europe during WW2, about which I didn't know much. The format was interesting: through individual stories, get a wider picture of the ongoing struggles and strategies. An interesting approach that makes this book both accessible and clear.

I would have personally preferred a longer and more in-depth analysis, but there are other books for this, that I will continue my journey with. I do recommend this work if you are discovering this subject and want to discover more about the men, units, decisions and engines that led to the big week. it's a fascinating moment of history that is worth knowing.

The audiobook itself is great, the narrator clear, and well balanced. I recommend this version, that is quite easy to follow.

A mix of history and individual stories
