  • Hardcover

An intimate, and sure to becontroversial, look at thewartime triumphs and failuresof Winston Churchill.

Winston Churchill: The Flawed Genius of World WarII examines the decisions and policies Churchillmade in the vital months between June 1940and December 1941. While Churchill is rightlycredited with recognizing the Nazi threat earlyon, his myriad decisions hindered the Allied causemore than they helped it. From dispatching Britishtroops to North Africa and Greece and establishingthe Special Operations Executive, to insisting onthe Mediterranean's importance to victory andignoring George C. Marshall's plan that could havewon the war in 1943, Churchill's directives notonly extended the conflict, but destabilized severalregions that have remained in chaos even at thedawn of the twenty-first century.

With profound insight into Churchill's earlycolonial experiences as well as his first tenure as FirstLord of the Admiralty, Christopher Catherwoodoffers an honest appraisal of his strategies in aunique and fascinating perspective that separates themyth from the man.
