Özet
 A major new history of Churchill in the 1930s, showing how his meetings at Chartwell, his country home, strengthened his fight against the Nazis



In the 1930s, amidst an impending crisis in Europe, Winston Churchill found himself out of government and with little power. In these years, Chartwell, his country home in Kent, became the headquarters of his campaign against Nazi Germany. He invited trusted advisors and informants, including Albert Einstein and T. E. Lawrence, who could strengthen his hand as he worked tirelessly to sound the alarm at the prospect of war.



Katherine Carter tells the extraordinary story of the remarkable but little known meetings that took place behind closed doors at Chartwell. From household names to political leaders, diplomats to spies, Carter reveals a fascinating cast of characters, each of whom made their mark on Churchill's thinking and political strategy. With Chartwell as his base, Churchill gathered intelligence about Germany's preparations for war—and, in doing so, put himself in a position to change the course of history.©2024 Heather Lynn Europe Great Britain Military Politicians Politics & Activism Presidents & Heads of State Winston Churchill Savaş Emperyalizm Casusluk Kraliyet

Excellent easy listening , great diction , and voice narration. Easy to slip in and out off listening where you left off .

Great book for the wilderness years of Winston Churchill

On the whole good, but marred by the following: (i) pauses are frequently far too long between a given quotation (eg. extract from a letter) and the source (ie who said or wrote it),
(ii) a number of astonishing mistakes in the spoken English. Eg "the Admirality", "paling into significance", "sparking list of invitees", "reguly" ...

Good story, narration could be better

The book throws light onto the involvement of Churchill in ensuring Britains awareness of what was to come. The narration needed more gravitas than Ms Dobby’s voice exuded and her many mispronunciations tended to detract.

A flawed performance
