The concluding volume of Churchill's personal narrative of the Second World War, covering the period from the Anglo-American landings in Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944, through his resignation following his party's defeat on July 26, 1945.
Presents evidence to support the author's claim that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan's plan to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and in fact had approved an eight-step program designed to deliberately provoke Japan in an attempt to win the approval of the American public to join the war.
Covers the problems confronted by Churchill as he becomes Prime Minister, the Battle of France, the story of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, and the rebuilding of England's Army.
