Never Surrender (Paperback, New ed)

Like other Dobbs novels, this one is so true to historical fact that it could almost be taken as a work of reference. Mind games and spin doctoring between Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler at the time of Dunkirk underpin a ripping yarn that shows how Britain, despite standing alone after the fall of France and the Low Countries, emerged victorious in the psychological war. Churchill had learned a lot from his father about stiff upper lips and a refusal to show weakness, even in face of despair, and he put those qualities to use against his enemies not only in Germany but also in his own Cabinet. The characters are so well-rounded that you feel you know them personally, and the political intrigue is so suspenseful that it takes an effort of will to put the book down for a moment. This is Dobbs at his masterful best as he gets into the minds of two of the 20th century's strongest-willed personalities. (Kirkus UK)

Winston Churchill embarks on a battle of wills with Adolf Hitler in the run-up to Dunkirk. The compelling new historical novel from the acclaimed author of Winston's War. Winston Churchill at his lowest ebb -- pitted in personal confrontation with Adolf Hitler, and with ghosts from his tormented past. Friday 10 May 1940. Hitler launches a devastating attack that within days will overrun France, Holland and Belgium, and bring Britain to its knees at Dunkirk. It is also the day Winston Churchill becomes Prime Minister. He is the one man capable of standing in Hitler's way -- yet Churchill is still deeply mistrusted within his own Cabinet and haunted by the memory of his tortured father. Never Surrender is a novel about the courage and defiance that were displayed in abundance -- not just by Churchill, but by ordinary men and women over three of the most momentous weeks in British history.
