About this title: In this study of a decisive week at the beginning of World War II, historian Lukacs closely examines the struggle faced by Winston Churchill and his cabinet as they consider whether to go to war or to negotiate with Hitler. The fate of thousands of British soldiers and the question of whether the war would be supported on the home front were prime considerations.

"I picked this up as a short introduction to Lukacs' work, and I'm certain that anyone with a respectable knowledge of WWII history will get more out of the book than I did. Despite having a rather poor understanding of the war's details, I did find the book very interesting and could appreciate, in a small way, its significance as a piece of historical scholarship focused on a narrow and critical period at the start of Churchill's decisive work as Britain's prime minister. While not as involving and breathless a read as something like Bob Woodward's Bush at War, this book possesses its own, more reserved, virtues."
"John Lukacs, according to Neil, is a good historian and this book is written so that even a popular audience will find it accessable. I was "assigned" this book as required reading for Neil's Spring Break Travel Study Class - London & Paris & WWII. I can't poke any holes in his historical analysis and it was well-written, but I think that I probably would have done better with this book if I'd actually read it and not tried to listen to it while driving to work; I wasn't listening with as much attention as I should have and probably missed quite a few things. Nevertheless, if you are interested in learning more about Churchill's struggle with the "defeatist" including Chamberlian, Halifax and even the U.S. Ambassador (Kennedy), this is a good place to start."
