It is the dawn of World War II, and Neville Chamberlain believes he has
bought "peace for our time" from Adolph Hitler, who has just seized
Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. The English are alarmed by the huge German
army, while the soldiers that would defend London don't even have steel
helmets. For many, compromise and appeasement seem to be England's best
defense.
But there are a few leaders who don't agree. Among them is Winston
Churchill, who understands that the relentless march of fascism will
be democracy's death knell. In October 1938, Churchill pleads his case
in the press to the BBC's Guy Burgess. One of these two will become the
most revered man of his time, and the other will be known as the
greatest of traitors.
This stunning novel brings to life the surprising political intrigues
that set the stage for World War II, and brings alive the passionate,
grumpy, whiskey-drinking Winston Churchill, as he inspires his fellow
countrymen to take on the world's mightiest army.
