    <![CDATA[From a bestselling novelist with an unrivalled insight into the workings of power comes a compelling new novel exploring Winston Churchill's remarkable journey from the wilderness to No 10 Downing Street at the beginning of World War II.  Saturday 1 October 1938. Two men meet. One is elderly, the other in his twenties. One will become the most revered man of his time, and the other known as the greatest of traitors.  Winston Churchill met Guy Burgess at a moment when the world was about to explode. Now in is astonishing new novel, Michael Dobbs throws brilliant fresh light upon Churchill's relationship with the Soviet spy and the twenty months of conspiracy, chance and outright treachery that were to propel Churchill from outcast to messiah and change the course of history.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[good novel overall, but kind of slow moving (not much happens, and the final, big twist has no real indications that it's coming).  Also, a little slavish in recreating parliamentary debates, but the book's general historical accuracy is a really nice approach to historical fiction.]]></body>

The English are awed by the size of the German army, while the soldiers that would defend London don't even have steel helmets. For many, appeasement seems to be the best defense against a brutal and unbeatable army.</p> <p>But Winston Churchill can see that the relentless march of fascism will be democracy's death knell. In October, 1938, Churchill pleads his case in the press to the BBC's Guy Burgess. One of these two will become the most revered man of his time, and the other will be known as the greatest of traitors.</p> <p>This is Michael Dobbs' amazing novel of the political intrigues that set the stage for World War II and a portrait of Winston Churchill rising to fight Hitler's armed might.</p> <p><u>PRAISE FOR WINSTON'S WAR:</u></p> <p>&quot;An intriguing tale of espionage and treason... this is a work to enthrall.&quot; <br/> <strong>Daily Mail</strong></p> <p>&quot;An author who can bring historical happenings so vitally back to life and made all the more impressive by being historically accurate in every respect.&quot; <br/> <strong>Times of London</strong></p> <p><u>PRAISE FOR BOSTON GLOBE BESTSELLING AUTHOR MICHAEL DOBBS: </u></p> <p>&quot;Dobbs takes us so far inside the mind of Winston Churchill that we feel as though we actually are him.&quot; <br/> <strong>Booklist</strong></p> <p>&quot;Dobbs infuses dramatic tension, inventive plots, and heady pacing in the narration of a British icon's noblest hours.&quot; <br/> <strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[From a bestselling novelist with an unrivalled insight into the workings of power comes a compelling new novel exploring Winston Churchill's remarkable journey from the wilderness to No 10 Downing Street at the beginning of World War II.  Saturday 1 October 1938. Two men meet. One is elderly, the other in his twenties. One will become the most revered man of his time, and the other known as the greatest of traitors.  Winston Churchill met Guy Burgess at a moment when the world was about to explode. Now in is astonishing new novel, Michael Dobbs throws brilliant fresh light upon Churchill's relationship with the Soviet spy and the twenty months of conspiracy, chance and outright treachery that were to propel Churchill from outcast to messiah and change the course of history.]]>
