Opis

For nearly forty years 'among the glades of Epping Forest' Churchill found a base for his distinguished parliamentary life: it sustained him during his ten years in the political wilderness and during the fierce ordeals of tragedy and triumph in the war years. This book relates with anecdotal and archival evidence the attempt to unseat him after what many supporters thought an injudicious Munich speech. However Churchill was persuaded to stay on by loyal friends, thus ensuring his availability for a Cabinet post a few months later at the outbreak of war.
