In a book that aims to resolve the mysteries surrounding the causes of the Second World War, and what transpired during the war to bring its end result, the author details Winston Churchillâs actions and their intended consequences, in a book that also serves as a cautionary tale of what could happen again. 10,000 first printing. - Perseus Publishing
How Churchill Saved Civilization resolves the lingering mysteries surrounding the causes of the Second World War, and what transpired during the war to bring its end result. It proposes answers to such questions as âWhy were the Allies unprepared?â, âWhy did France collapse so quickly?â, âWhy didnât the British government accept Hitlerâs peace proposals?â and âWhy did the Germans allow Hitler to obtain life and death control over them?â
But the bookâs main purpose is to provide an account of Winston Churchillâs actions and their intended consequences â as well as some of the unintended ones â for readers who are unlikely to read a military history book of 800 pages. The author has pared down the details of this at once fascinating and frightening story to an accessible length of how the world nearly ended in the 1940s. How Churchill Saved Civilization was written in honor of all those who sacrificed their lives in the War, and to caution readers that it could very easily happen again, as key factors like complacency, ignorance, and weakness continue to play a role in international diplomacy.
