"Another excellent work, in the vein of Dobb's Finest Hour. There are, however, several conroversial deeds assigned to Churchill, such as the notion that he knew of the attack on Pearl Harbor and did not warn the Americans, and that he also goaded Hitler into a foolish decision to declare war on America. In the long run, both events saved Britain and Churchill."
This fictional account vividly relates the grim year of 1941. The Nazi were unstoppable and were about to rule Europe, Britain was battered by the war and was facing one military disaster after another. It was a year of desperation, Britain stood alone. Churchill was facing his darkest hours and desperately needed the undivided help of his allies. A deeper alliance with the US was paramount.
Mr Dobbs draws an intriguing balance between Churchill's political and domestic lives mixing historical facts with fiction to give us a riveting political drama exploring his remarkable journey. The tragedy of Pearl Harbour is further discussed in the epilogue and the author also pursues the post war story of Churchill's family and other characters.
This novel is so interesting and captivating, it is easy to forget that parts are said to be a creation of the author's imagination.
Many events described may be challenged by historical buffs on all sides. Nonetheless an eye opener to a very important part of our past....A past we must never forget in honour of those who were involved"
"Dobbs takes the approach of being a "fly on the wall" in Churchill's political manueverings in the months leading up to the U.S. joining WWII. He uses intimate dialogue between Churchill and his family and staff to paint Churchill as a master of puppets. Dobbs leads the reader to believe that Churchill manipulated hostilities with Japan and Germany against the U.S. to bring the U.S. into the war to save England. The writing is good and the book is clever, but I enjoy traditional history, especially involing WWII. Churchill's personality and life are fascinating enough without having to read someone's imagination about what might have been occuring within the walls of Churchill's home. Not a bad read, but when it comes to history and WWII, I just prefer non-fiction.
Now after saying all of that, I'm going to read Maus 1 and 2. So how's that for already contradicting myself."
