"History at War" tells how, alone among historians, Noble Frankland fought in the bomber offensive during the Second World War and then, together with Sir Charles Webster, wrote its official history; how he transformed the Imperial War Museum from a dying institution into one of the world`s leading historical centers for the study of the conflicts of the 20th century; how he played a major part in television documentary productions, including in particular "The World at War"; and how he wrote a series of original, rigorously researched historical works. In "History at War" he describes the battles he had to fight against the mandarins and media merchants who sought to impose a spin on history to suit their own ends, and were ruthless and unscrupulous in their methods. Its meticulous documentation gives a guarantee of authenticity to his staggering account of how those in high places tried to distort history, which might otherwise seem scarcely credible.ISBN 1900357100
