1940: Myth and Reality (ISBN  ) is a controversial 1990 book by Clive Ponting and published by Hamish Hamilton.
 It is a revisionist history of the Second World War, particularly the divergences between the rhetoric and the reality in relation to popular British narratives.
 The revisionism is different from that of, for example, "'The Battle of Britain: Myth and Reality", a 2000 book by Richard Overy, and draws different (arguably more pessimistic) conclusions.
 The book caused a minor sensation when published, but few of the revelations were new, most having been published in other books in the previous 21 years.
