He is the author of three previous volumes of history, Browned Off and Bloody-Minded, Demobbed - winner of the 2010 Longman-History Today Book of the Year Award - and Britain at Bay: The Epic Story of the Second World War, 1938-1941.
Recenzii
Gripping ... Allport captures this extraordinary drama in a book that is concerned with grand strategy as much as it is individual lives ... he has put the world back into the world war that the British fought
There is no silly sensationalism in this book, merely sound storytelling and measured judgments ... Admirably provocative ... It remains profoundly to our forefathers' credit, Allport concludes, that the British entered the Second World War and saw it through, not, like Russia and the US, because this country was attacked, nor in quest of a heroic adventure, "but simply because they thought it was the right thing to do". We should never despise such an epitaph on the wartime generation
Allport captures this extraordinary drama in a book that is concerned with grand strategy as much as it is with individual lives ... This is a gripping book ... It is good that Allport has put the world back into the world war that the British fought from 1942 to 1945
Alan Allport has followed up Britannia at Bay with another tour de Force. Advance Britannia ranges widely from the battlefield to the home front, from the cabinet war rooms to factory floors. It is as complete and compelling a picture of Britain in the Second World War as one could hope to read.
Allport succeeds in making stories that many of us thought we were familiar with feel fresh, urgent and timely. He has the true storyteller's gift of using a telling detail to make a story many of us thought we knew feel suspenseful. He reminds us that at the time the outcome was far from certain. This is a must read for anyone who is interested in what really happened in World War 2.
A triumph ... deftly weaving together a wealth of sources, Advance Britannia is the story of imperial, wartime Britain, and how the victories and disasters of those years shaped the post-war world. A 'total history' of Britain's 'total war'
This book describes the four years during which the second world war was won and, though this was not always obvious at the time, that the British empire was lost. Allport's great achievement is to capture this extraordinary global upheaval without losing sight of the poignant human dramas that were intertwined with it
Allport has done it again - a highly readable, analytically provocative and original interpretation of Britain's experience of war. For many years to come, Advance Britannia will be an authoritative account and explanation of these pivotal years of the war
There isn't a better history of the Second World War than this remarkably fresh account. It is a history liberated from the pious sentimentalities of both left and right, a story not of a nation but an empire at war, partly with itself. In prose which zings along it authoritatively despatches one myth after another, comes to thoughtful and clear judgements on people and events, and surprises the reader on every page. It is an extraordinary achievement, a book which deserves to be read by all who pretend to know British history.
Praise for Alan Allport: 'Allport's wonderfully insightful study asks us to rethink the conventional chronology It is not only refreshingly free of jargon but remarkably moving. If all academic history was written this way, popular historians would be out of a job
Allport has distilled a mass of wisdom, and gathered all manner of truths under one roof, with skill and judgement
A deeply researched, well-written and perceptive book ... This is Second World War writing at its best
