Churchill's Bunker by Richard Holmes

2.0

British historian Richard Holmes has written a history of the Cabinet War Rooms which were constructed underneath London near the Houses of Parliament during World War II. While London was being bombed and its survival was in question, the highest ranking individuals in the military and intelligence communities worked around the clock devising strategy in these underground offices. While this book was interesting, it was very uneven. Holmes excelled in describing how the bunker was constructed, who worked in the bunker, and how they interaction with each other and with Churchill, but much of the book was a discussion of Winston Churchill's career and the extent of his travels during the war and interactions with Allied leaders.
