From Michael Dobbs, author of the book that inspired the smash hit Netflix series House of Cards, comes Winstons War, a thrilling novel about the dawn of WWII and Winston Churchills rise to power. At the beginning of WWII, Neville Chamberlain believes he has bought peace for our time from Adolph Hitler, who has just seized Czechoslovakias Sudetenland. The English are alarmed by the huge German army, while the soldiers that would defend London dont even have steel helmets. For many, compromise and appeasement seem to be Englands best defense. But there are a few leaders who dont agree. Among them is Winston Churchill, who understands that the relentless march of fascism will be democracys death knell. In October 1938, Churchill pleads his case in the press to the BBCs Guy Burgess.
