Summary

In the second volume of this biography of Winston Churchill we witness the war within, before the colossal war to come. During this period, Churchill was tested as few men are. Yet despite his personal and political troubles, he managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network which provided him with more information on Germany than the British government had. Recognising the horrifying truth, he stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the British and French policy of appeasement. Here is Churchill as a light in the approaching darkness, readying himself for the terrible stand to come.
