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.
