Enemies and Allies describes seven days which over the passage of almost 600 years, have caused our present to not only be so uncertain and perilous, but may have initiated the slide into the decline of Western Civilization. Those seven days connect one day in the fifteenth century to six days that occurred during a two year period in the early part of the twentieth century. In bringing this book alive, Wagman employs a leitmotif in the person and memory of Sir Winston Churchill which makes Enemies and Allies: Seven Days of Destiny fascinating reading.
