The Churchill War Papers Never Surrender May 1940 December 1940

Forms part of the official biography of Winston Churchill, consisting of eight narrative volumes and twenty-three planned document volumes. Drawn from Churchill's personal papers and other archives, the document volumes contain materials referenced in the narrative, including top secret telegrams, private letters and diaries from family, friends, and opponents.

"The letters and documents reproduced in this volume were written during the first eight months of Churchill's premiership, during which time he surmounted more crises than many leaders face in an entire career: a fast-disintegrating ground war in Europe as the German blitzkreig overran the Netherlands, Belgium and France, and drove the British Army to retreat and evacuation at Dunkirk; the consolidation of German occupation in Norway and Denmark; an ongoing state of emergency at home as Britain struggled to modernize its army, navy and air forces at breakneck speed; and the pivotal weeks of the Battle of Britain - the "finest hour" when Britain stood fast against the unremitting onslaught of the German Luftwaffe"--Bloomsbury Collections.

"A remarkably vivid account of a key moment in Western history: The critical six months in 1940 when Winston Churchill and his cabinet debated whether England should fight Nazi Germany and then decided to "never surrender.""--Amazon.com.
