'This is the room from which I will direct the war,' Churchill
declared, shortly after becoming Prime Minister in 1940. It was
from these cramped confines that Churchill turned a seemingly
inevitable defeat at the hands of the Nazis into a famous victory.
Built in 1938 as a temporary refuge in case of air raid attack,
this secret bunker became a second home to Churchill - and to large
numbers of military personnel and civil servants whose work until
now has been largely unsung. Drawing on a fascinating range of
original material, including newly available first-hand accounts of
the people who lived there, Holmes reveals how and why the bunker
and its war machine developed; how the inhabitants' lives were
transformed; and how their work led to victory. Elegant and
illuminating, Churchill's Bunker is a unique exploration of one of
the most important sites in British history.
