Adolf Hitler capitalised on the seeds of discontent sown by post-World War l ‘peace treaties’ and waged an embittered campaign of invasion and occupation across mainland Europe in an effort to restore pride in Germany. After France was forced to sign the Armistice in 1940, Britain faced the might of Hitler’s forces alone. In 100 richly illustrated pages – including fascinating images extending over four x four page foldouts – Churchill’s ‘bulldog spirit’ is evoked on the Home Front and overseas, emboldened by his pledge that the island nation would ‘never surrender’.
