In this volume, we witness the war within, before the colossal war to come. During this period, Churchill was tested as few men are: relentlessly pursued by creditors, disowned by his own party, vociferously dismissed by the press as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. Yet despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network-both within the British government and on the continent-which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany than the British government. Recognizing the horrifying truth, Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the sordid British and French policy of appeasement. Manchester's luminous portrait never loses sight of Churchill the man-a man with limitations, especially his callousness toward others (including his supporters) and his recklessness, which could border on the foolhardy; but also a man whose vision was global and whose courage was boundless. Here is Churchill as a light in the approaching darkness, readying himself for the terrible stand to come.Hide synopsis

Volume II of Manchester's projected 3-volume biography of Winston Churchill. (Manchester is ill, and not expected to complete this trilogy. ) In this volume, the author argues that despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany's rearmament than the government was able to gather. Manchester also argues that MacDonald, Baldwin, and Chamberlain followed a policy of appeasement, believing that a mighty German army would serve as a bulwark against the Soviet Union.
