Description
Michael Dobbs' thrilling novel about the dawn of World War II, and Winston Churchill's rise to power.
It is the dawn of World War II, and Neville Chamberlain has just guaranteed peace from the German dictator who has invaded Czechoslovakia. The English are awed by the size of the German army, while the soldiers that would defend London don't even have steel helmets. For many, appeasement seems to be the best defense against a brutal and unbeatable army.
But Winston Churchill can see that the relentless march of fascism will be democracy's death knell. In October, 1938, Churchill pleads his case in the press to the BBC's Guy Burgess. One of these two will become the most revered man of his time, and the other will be known as the greatest of traitors.
This is Michael Dobbs' amazing novel of the political intrigues that set the stage for World War II and a portrait of Winston Churchill rising to fight Hitler's armed might.
