A novel of one man's defiance and a nation's courage.
In his bestselling novel 'Winston's War', Michael Dobbs brilliantly combined imagination and fact in a vivid recreation of Churchill's remarkable journey from the wilderness to Downing Street. It won acclaim from critics and caught the mood of the reading public. Now he draws on his unrivalled insight into the workings of power to bring the Greatest Briton to life once again.
10 May 1940: Hitler launches his devastating attack that within days will overrun France, Holland and Belgium, and which will bring Britain to its knees at Dunkirk. Only one man, Winston Churchill, seems capable of standing in his way. Yet Churchill is isolated, mistrusted by many of his colleagues, and tormented by ghosts from his past.
This is the story of those four crucial weeks during which Churchill and Hitler faced each other in a battle of wills. At its end, Hitler was at the gates of Paris and master of all he surveyed. But Churchill had already broken him on the most crucial battlefield of all: the mind.
