The Battle of Britain, such a great moment in history and such a portrayal of British fight against the Nazis and of courage and commitment. This was a great read. I really enjoyed it.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
A fascinating take on the Battle of Britain. I liked the inclusion of the interviews from present day which really marked the difference between then and now. It is clear that the author is invested in this topic and devoted a lot time to research which shows as there are plenty of facts alongside the story. Maybe too many at times for me but that depends on the reader.
A good book.

An amazing look at the Battle of Britain, the brave pilots, and the planners and strategists that ensured the British RAF did not lose. The descriptions of the different planes and their tactics is fascinating, so much that I am buying this book for my husband, a former bush pilot in Alaska.

Upon starting the book I was a bit surprised by the back and forth between not only character POV but also by the modern day interview versus WWII action and was not sure I liked it but I have to say I quickly became absorbed in the story and enjoyed it tremendously! Although Eleanor and Johnnie are both fictional characters, as is Eleanor's mathematical model and department, the author masterfully weaves their story into the real life Battle of Britain, its aftermath and actual historical figures they interact with including Churchill, Harry Hopkins and others. After finishing Infinite Stakes I discovered there is a preceding book, Breaking Point, which introduces us to Eleanor and Johnnie and enjoyed it as well. I hope for another book about these two interesting characters,
