In this powerful biography, the middle volume of William Manchester s critically acclaimed trilogy, Winston Churchill wages his defining campaign: not against Hitler s war machine but against his own reluctant countrymen. Manchester contends that even more than his leadership in combat, Churchill s finest hour was the uphill battle against appeasement. As Parliament received with jeers and scorn his warnings against the growing Nazi threat, Churchill stood alone only to be vindicated by history as a beacon of hope amid the gathering storm.
