Britain is at war. The horrors of blitzkrieg have seen one western European democracy after another fall in rapid succession to Nazi boot and shell. Invasion seems mere hours away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eJust days after becoming Prime Minister, Winston Churchill must deal with this horror—as well as a skeptical King, a party plotting against him, and an unprepared public. Pen in hand and typist-secretary at the ready, how could he change the mood and shore up the will of a nervous people?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this gripping day-by-day, often hour-by-hour account of how an often uncertain Churchill turned Britain around, the celebrated Bafta-winning writer Anthony McCarten exposes sides of the great man never seen before. He reveals how he practiced and re-wrote his key speeches, from ‘Blood, toil, tears and sweat’ to ‘We shall fight on the beaches’; his consideration of a peace treaty with Nazi Germany, and his underappreciated role in the Dunkirk evacuation; and, above all, how 25 days helped make one man an icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eUsing new archive material, McCarten reveals the crucial behind-the-scenes moments that changed the course of history. It’s a scarier—and more human—story than has ever been told.\u003cbr\u003e\n Dimensions:21 x 198  \u003cbr\u003e\n Author: Anthony Mccarten \u003cbr\u003e\n ISBN: 9780241327104 \u003cbr\u003e\n Format:  \u003cbr\u003e\n Pages 336\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44733348216985,"sku":"13RC9780241327104","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/5102a9477c6bbc8a0f52425c3e85f0d6.jpg?v=1723191006","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/darkest-hour-how-churchill-brought-us-back-from-the-brink","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
