THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER AND OFFICIAL TIE-IN TO THE
AWARD-WINNING MOTION PICTURE STARRING GARY OLDMAN, WHO TOOK HOME
BEST ACTOR AT THE OSCARS FOR HIS SUBLIME TURN AS WINSTON CHURCHILL.
From the prize-winning screenwriter of The Theory of Everything,
this is a cinematic, behind-the-scenes account of a crucial moment
which takes us inside the mind of one of the world's greatest
leaders - and provides a revisionist, more rounded portrait of his
leadership. May, 1940. Britain is at war, European democracies are
falling rapidly and the public are unaware of this dangerous new
world. Just days after his unlikely succession to Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill, faces this horror - and a sceptical King and a
party plotting against him. He wonders how he can capture the
public mood and does so, magnificently, before leading the country
to victory. It is this fascinating period that Anthony McCarten
captures in this deeply researched, gripping day-by-day (and often
hour-by-hour) narrative. In doing so he revises the familiar view
of Churchill - he made himself into the iconic figure we remember
and changed the course of history, but through those turbulent and
dangerous weeks he was plagued by doubt, and even explored a peace
treaty with Nazi Germany. It's a scarier, and more human story,
than has ever been told.
