Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In 1938 Winston Churchill stood alone with a few faithful friends against the recieved wisdom of Neville Chamberlains appeasement of Nazi Germany at Munich. Churchill was in financial hardship, he prepared to sell his beloved house Chartwell, he had lost valuable newspaper contracts and unawares to himself his phone was being tapped and mail read. A renegade ex-MI5 officer was organising a dirty tricks campaign against him which saw him facing deselection by his local Conservative Party and character assasination in a secretly controlled but influential newsheet called Truth. Drawing on unpublished private papers and declassified MI5 files this book tells the untold story of the campaign against Churchill by appeaserst and pro-Nazis in Britain which continued into Churchill's Premiership culminating in the Hess Peace Mission in 1941.
