?This is a magnificent novel. It will hold the reader's fascination
from beginning to end.?
-Press Association
This stunning historical novel brings you deep inside Winston
Churchill's mind and heart as he becomes Prime Minister and takes
on the terrifying challenge of halting Hitler's murderous invasion
of France, Holland and Belgium with only his wits and his
magnificent words. Only his courage stands between the people of
the British Isles and advancing enemy armies as they drive his
retreating soldiers onto the beaches of Dunkirk and into the
English channel. You will live at Churchill's side as he deals with
his own feelings of inadequacy while contending with his fellow
ministers, who plot to throw him out of office. And you will be the
fly on the wall of history as he matches wits with Hitler in the
most crucial battlefield of all, the battlefield of the mind.
Best-selling author Michael Dobbs has written fifteen novels. He
served as one of the chief advisers to Prime Ministers Margaret
Thatcher and John Major.
?Dobbs doesn?t put a foot wrong. I read it in two gulps in just two
nights; the characters are brilliantly sketched.?
-Churchill Center website
?Dobbs masterfully dissects three weeks of the Second World War. A
historical hit.?
-Daily Mirror
?Better than any other fiction, [Dobbs's books] convey the
desperation of those times, which we today, six decades removed,
cannot possibly imagine.?
-Finest Hour, magazine of the Churchill Center
