By David Irving
Editing and source-reference work are ongoing. The team is combining three manuscript versions and checking their references.
We hope to publish by the end of 2026. This is an estimate; no publication or dispatch date is guaranteed.
The planned concluding volume of Irving's Churchill trilogy is being prepared for publication. A preorder reserves the forthcoming hardcover; it does not provide immediate access to a finished manuscript or a book ready to dispatch.
An alliance under strain. The working manuscript opens in July 1943, as Churchill faces arguments over Allied strategy and Britain’s relationship with the United States. Irving examines the Italian campaign, bombing policy, the Quebec conference and Anglo-American atomic cooperation, developing his argument about the war’s cost to Britain’s power and independence.
The manuscript remains in preparation; final text, source references and edition details are not yet settled.
Unless checkout says otherwise, payment is taken when you place the preorder. You may request cancellation and a refund before fulfilment begins. Once printing, packing or dispatch begins, the normal returns process applies.
