A review by srreid
Winston's War by Michael Dobbs

3.0

I always find stories about the war interesting, so much happened in reality that fiction is almost not necessary. This is a story more of the political side than the battle side, of how Churchill came to lead (and almost doesn't) the country in its time of greatest need. For i you learn about the war or see in tv or film, the political part leading up to 1940 i have to admit i knew nothing about, i didn't remember Chamberlain was even the Prime Minister when war began, or how much he clung onto power. World War 2 seemed to be all about Churchill, so it was very interesting to see how it all started. even if this is a work of fiction, it weaves itself in and around known fact so there is a lot of historical truth in there too. Overall very entertaining and i will definitely be reading the 2 follow books.
