  A controversial account of the Churchill years by a bestselling historian. This highly praised book by the Wolfson History Prize-winning author of SALISBURY tackles six aspects of Churchilliana and uncovers a plethora of disturbing facts about wartime and post-war Britain. His revelations include: - The case for the impeachment of Lord Mountbatten - The Nazi sympathies of Sir Arthur Bryant, hitherto considered a 'patriotic historian' - The British establishment's doubt about Churchill's role after Dunkirk - The appeasement of the trade unions in Churchill's Indian summer - The inside story of black immigration in the early 1950s - The anti-Churchill stance adopted by the Royal Family in 1940

  This is a study of often little-known and sometimes less than creditable episodes in the lives of the great and good of the Churchillian era. The author has had access to hitherto unpublished papers and closed archives and presents eight self-contained portraits. His chapters cover such subjects as the new Elizabethan age, the House of Windsor and the Politics of Appeasement and Chruchill and the Multi-Racial Society . Andrew Roberts is also author of the biography of Lord Halifax, The Holy Fox .
