now i would like to hear book recommendations from you, and maybe if possible with a brief summary of the content.

If you would like to know more about the Battle of Britain specifically I highly recommend 'The Most Dangerous Enemy' by Stephen Bungay.
I have read an awful lot of books on the BoB and Bungay's book is the best IMHO. It strips away many of the myths but in doing so makes the events more profound and in many cases deeply moving.
