The bestselling audiobook of the acclaimed BBC1 series, described as 'Brilliant' by the Daily Mail.

Taking its listeners on a breath-taking journey from open lifeboats in Atlantic gales to the cockpits of burning fighter-planes, and through cities devastated by the Blitz, FINEST HOUR recreates the terror, the tragedy and the triumph of the Battle of Britain.

Sir Derek Jacobi narrates this powerful account of the events of 1940, told through the diaries, letters and memories of the men and women who lived, loved, fought and died during this terrible yet inspiring year.

FINEST HOUR blends original historical research with the experiences of desperate people in extraordinary times. Cutting through the nostalgic haze, this audiobook enables listeners to experience something of a time - still within common living memory - when a nation's darkest hour became its finest.
