Churchill’s War
Volume III
The Sundered Dream
The final volume. Fifty years in the making.
“In the spring of 1943, the war turned. The tide was coming in — but at what cost?”
Drawing on hundreds of unpublished documents from private archives across three continents, David Irving completes his monumental biography of Winston Churchill. From the firestorms of Dresden to the fall of Berlin, from secret wartime cables to the private diaries of Churchill’s inner circle — this is the history that was never meant to be told.
The Trilogy
What’s Inside
The Bombing of Dresden
The full story of the most controversial Allied bombing raid, told from both sides for the first time. Irving draws on German municipal records, RAF Bomber Command logs, and eyewitness accounts never before published in English.
Roosevelt’s Death
What Churchill really knew — and when he knew it. Newly uncovered cables between Downing Street and the White House reveal a relationship far more fractured than the official record admits.
The Fall of Berlin
The final days, as seen from Downing Street. While Soviet forces encircled the capital, Churchill wrestled with the shape of the post-war world — and his own diminishing influence over it.
The Nuremberg Setup
How the trials were orchestrated, and what was suppressed. Irving reveals the backroom negotiations, the evidence that was excluded, and the political calculations that shaped the proceedings.
Churchill’s Post-War Cover-Up
The documents Churchill tried to destroy. From the burning of wartime telegrams to the suppression of inconvenient diaries, this chapter uncovers a systematic campaign to control the historical record.
The Iron Curtain Speech
How Churchill pivoted from wartime ally to Cold War architect. The Fulton address wasn’t improvisation — it was the culmination of months of calculated repositioning, documented here for the first time.
