I didn't get the opportunity to finish this book as a review copy before it was archived, but I liked what I had read so much that I have bought the hard copy so I can read it at my own leisure. My husband is also keen to read the book too.

Book received from NetGalley

I had heard about Operation Sea Lion prior to reading this book but I had no clue what it was. World War II history is too "new" for me to really enjoy reading or studying about it. I learned quite a bit from this book and now I want to know more about this early part of World War II.

Reasonable overview of Sealion

Robert Forczyk has delivered a reasonable overview of Sealion with some interesting strategic options I hadn't considered. However, in my view the book is let down by some implausible theories of German naval capabilities.

That being said it was not too dry and an entertaining read.

This was a great book based on Operation Sealion, it enlightened and enlivened an area of history not so well understood. For my people in these islands, the Battle of Britain was the signal that Hitler could never defeat us! But this book shows just how close it came and if the Nazis took a chance they might have succeeded! Well researched and written! Enjoyed this very much!
