Thirty Years of Research. Thousands of Secret Files. One Unvarnished Portrait. Churchill's War is not another hagiography. David Irving gained access to documents closed to other historians - including files the official biographer was denied - to produce this unflinching account of Britain's wartime leader. Volume I: The Struggle for Power This first volume chronicles Churchill's wilderness years and his clawing return to power, covering: The disasters: Gallipoli, the Chanak crisis, the fall of France, the Greek fiasco How Churchill cultivated - and was cultivated by - powerful interests The secret financial arrangements that kept him afloat His complex relationship with Roosevelt and Stalin The bombing campaigns he initiated - and their consequences What the Archives Reveal Irving uncovered records showing that Churchill's famous wartime speeches were sometimes broadcast by an actor ('Larry the Lamb') when the Prime Minister was indisposed. He documented the drinking, the bullying of ministers, and the decisions that sacrificed the Empire to keep Britain in the war. 700 pages including photographs, documents, notes and index. Volume II available separately.
