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.

Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly.
