Items related to Winston’s War
From a bestselling novelist with an unrivalled insight into the workings of power comes a compelling new novel exploring Winston Churchill’s remarkable journey from the wilderness to No 10 Downing Street at the beginning of World War II.
· WINSTON’S WAR is a masterful blending of imagination and compelling fact that places the reader at the right hand of the most momentous events in our history.
Saturday 1 October 1938. Winston Churchill has reached his lowest point. Reviled, mocked, accused of being nothing more than a drunken warmonger. Now his arch-rival, Neville Chamberlain, has done a deal with Hitler that destroys everything Churchill has fought for.
But the world is about to change. Churchill is visited by a young and unkempt BBC journalist who rebukes him for being defeatist. It proves to be a turning point. Churchill grows to like his young visitor, who rekindles his determination to fight on. What Churchill doesn’t know is that the man from the BBC is also a leading Soviet spy. His name is Guy Burgess.
Now Michael Dobbs, one of the country’s most acclaimed novelists, throws brilliant fresh light upon Churchill’s relationship with Burgess and the twenty months of conspiracy, chance and outright treachery that propelled Churchill from outcast to messiah.

Review:
From the Publisher:
‘A political thriller writer with a marvellous inside track knowledge of government.’
Daily Express
The story of Churchill’s return to power and the part played by the man who would later be revealed as a Soviet spy provide the inspiration for a fascinating novel that sheds new light on one of the most remarkable periods of British history. As well as being one of the country’s most successful novelists, Michael Dobbs is an increasingly prominent media figure.
