Review:

‘Michael Dobbs’ latest novel is a vividly realised record of the events surrounding the great Briton’s remarkable rise. An intriguing tale of espionage and treason ... a work to enthral. This novel never ceases to be compelling.’
Stephanie Cross, Daily Mail

‘Churchill is a brooding presence ... as riveting as Francis Urquhart. Dobbs’ novel is astonishingly historically accurate. He certainly knows where all the skeletons are hidden and where every body is buried. He manages to give a vivid impression of the seamier side of politics in the year that immediately preceded the outbreak of war ... compelling.’
Anthony Howard, The Times

‘Dobbs has done a brilliant job in evoking the drama and despair of Britain hovering on the edge of the abyss.’
Sunday Express

‘Michael Dobbs weaves a fascinating tale of conspiracy, blackmail and treachery ... This page-turning, meaty, densely textured wartime thriller unblinkingly dissects the wealthy oligarchy that nearly ruined Britain and throws a very new light on Burgess and his place in history.’
Myles McWeeney, Irish Independent

From the Publisher:
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.
