Fear and Hope: How Churchill Saved Britain from Disaster
19.99 €
In 1940, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia had fallen, and the evacuation of troops from the coast of France was only two weeks away. The inhabitants of London and the surrounding area from day to day expected the invasion of German troops from sea and air, and ahead was the Battle of Britain - an exhausting confrontation with the Luftwaffe forces. During this difficult time for the country, Winston Churchill took over as Prime Minister of Great Britain to show the world what true political leadership was all about. In his book, Eric Larson describes the daily lives of Churchill, his family and ordinary citizens during the darkest year in twentieth-century London's history, drawing on diaries, archival documents and declassified intelligence reports, some of which have only recently become available to historians. "Fear and Hope" is a fascinating account of how the eloquence and tenacity of a great statesman united a nation against the onslaught of unrelenting terror.
