Britain At Bay is a historical non-fiction book written by Alan Wilkinson and Spenser Spackman. It offers a detailed account of the events that took place in Britain during the Second World War, from the fall of France in 1940 to the eventual victory in 1945. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the Battle of Britain, the Blitz, the war in North Africa, the Normandy landings, and the liberation of Europe. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of the political, military, and social factors that influenced Britain's war effort. They explore the challenges faced by the country, such as the shortage of resources, the threat of invasion, and the impact of war on the civilian population. The book also sheds light on the role played by key figures such as Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin in shaping the outcome of the war.Britain At Bay is a well-researched and engaging account of Britain's struggle for survival during one of the most significant events in modern history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Second World War and the impact it had on Britain and the world.The employment of force for the maintenance of right is the foundation of all civilised human life, for it is the fundamental function of the State, and apart from the State there is no civilisation, no life worth living. The first business of the State is to protect the community against violent interference from outside. This it does by requiring from its subjects whatever personal service and whatever sacrifice of property and of time may be necessary; and resistance to these demands, as well as to any injunctions whatever laid by the State upon its subjects, is unconditionally suppressed by force.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
