Natural Selection: The Battle of Britain and The Blitz

By Robert sterling herron and Robert Herron

natural selection: the battle of britain & the blitz

History disappears not in a single moment but in fragments - eroded by forgetfulness, dulled by comfort, rewritten to suit the present. Natural Selection is a book about refusing that erasure. It is a record of a year when the fate of democracy hung by a thread, when a battered island stood alone against fascism, and when ordinary people - pilots, fire wardens, mothers, refugees - found themselves on history's front line.

It is also the story of Arthur Koestler, who, wandering through a collapsing France like a pilgrim through Dante's Inferno, bore witness to a civilization losing itself to darkness. His journey, like that of so many others, reminds us that history is not an abstraction - it is lived in bodies, in fear, in hunger, and in the stubborn refusal to surrender to despair.

To remember this moment - and those who endured it - is not an act of nostalgia but of vigilance. For if memory fades, so too does the warning it carries.
