The premise was simple: what if England had been invaded by Germany in 1940 after Dunkirk? This picks up the story three years later when the resistance, supported by the US was picking up steam.

Remarkably engaging and effective. More intelligent and perceptive that I expected.
Brownlow has since become one of the world's premier film historians. This is a very impressive piece of work for such a young man besotted with film at an early age.
